Nutritionix Track

I’ve had this app for over 3 years and it’s the best tracking app I’ve found...and it’s free with no paid upgrades! What I love about it is that you can scan foods in with a barcode scanner, you can add your own custom foods or recipes, they have an EXTENSIVE restaurant database, all foods in the app are very accurate (unlike other apps) so you don’t have so guess if whah you’re tracking is accurate or not, the nutritionix team is very fast to respond with any questions or concerns about the app, I’ve emailed support a few times about little bugs and they fix them immediately, it’s super user friendly, it shows you the meal’s whole nutrition and the day’s while nutrition facts, you can see how much you’ve eaten for the day and see how much you have left...I could go on! I am a nutrition and macro coach and I recommend this app to all my clients.

Overall, the functionality of this food tracker is the best I’ve found. Large database of foods with correct/reasonable values for generic foods, the ability to scan bar codes, set up your make your own meals/recipes, a restaurant meal planner... Other similar apps seem to be inundated with incorrect information that the public has entered, making it hard to get good tracking. One bug that detracts from it though is that it seems to update the Apple HealthKit app multiple times per day with the entire calorie/nutrient values leading to the HealthKit having wrong/double values. I did ensure that the time zone matches the phone time zone - it really looks like the issue is that the HealthKit API is being used incorrectly in the app. This really needs to be fixed.***This has been fixed*** One good enhancement to the UI would be to allow multiple entries from the page where it shows you “foods eaten for (meal)”. If you want to add multiple foods you’ve had before, each time you click, it takes you to another page and you have to menu back.

I tried multiple food/diet/nutrition apps, including My Fittness Pal, but found this app was easier to use adding individual foods or creating recipes with nutrition macros broken down per serving. Can adjust personal goals for daily amounts of protein, carbs, and fats so it fits a variety of dietary needs— which for me is a low carb, high fat diet to control Type 2 diabetes. It quickly pulls up what I typically eat at certain times of day so I don’t have to go looking to log 2 eggs every morning. LOVE that it’s a free app with so many food nutrition info available (and easily scaled to my serving) or to scan with my phone. Plus tons of restaurants are included. Easily log exercise and water intake. So many awesome features. Did I mention it’s free? Helps me stay on track and motivated. Thank you for this awesome app!

Its the best free calorie counter app and nutrition log so far. I have used so many apps including my plate and atkins, but this is the best. No other app has macros splig and nutrition content for restaurant foods and daily grocery items. Its great that it allows me to set my own daily macro percentage and helps me keep track of the macros. The daily weight log and water intake is a bonus. Most apps give water tracker only for premium users. This app even allows me to create my own food and recipes. It has recommended tab for snacks suggested by dietitian, i don’t use that much though. The only thing this app doesnt have is suggested food recipes, like keto friendly, high protein foods etc. If they include recipes and tips, Nutritionix will be the best!!

It looks like it does just what I was looking for, allowing me to talk to it and tell it what I’m eating instead of making me type in stuff. But with a privacy policy that says that Nutritionix owns all my data and will resell it to anyone they choose, without any provisions for anonymization or any other privacy-preserving measures, it’s a non-starter. And besides, it only works in portrait mode. Here’s what I really want: - maintains my privacy, selling only aggregated, anonymized data to advertisers. Per-user profiling doesn’t work, but if you must, own my profile yourself and don’t give out the raw data - use face & fingerprint recognition for user authentication - allow me to enter meal items by speech recognition - allow me to scan UPC codes or Nutrition Facts blocks to obtain calorie values - allow me to enter partial portion values and then do the math for me based on standard portion data - provide reports filtered by time of day, so I can tell how much late-night snacking I’m doing - provide for multi-device use, It looks like it does just what I want, allowing me to talk to it and tell it what I’m eating instead of making me type in stuff. But with a privacy policy that says that on my iPhone and iPad in landscape mode I would pay for an app that did all this. I would pay even more for an ad-free, totally private version.
