I’m looking to start tracking food again. Between wanting to get healthier and it looking like I have gout it’d be good to start tracking this stuff again. Used to use MyFitnessPal 10 years ago but things change so much.

What’s everyone’s go to? I could just make a local spreadsheet but if there’s something that’s easier that’s great.

I use Cronometer.

Myfitnesspal is a dumpster fire, I used fatsecret for a while but cronometer is much faster to input meals and repeats and recipes and doesn't have core features locked behind a paywall.

Plus cronometer supports Health Connect which integrates with other FOSS local-only projects like gadgetbridge.

I want to try a fully FOSS app like Waistline to be fully open source and not sell eating habits to advertisers and insurance companies, but they all lack Health Connect support with issues for them open for 2+ years with almost no response.

Edit: also just trying out the new FOSS NutriTrace app (not on play store or fdroid yet, just github) and it is quite good as far as features, it has almost all of the core features except its search is a bit rough still and you can only pull from locally saved foods while making recipes. But it also can be self hosted with a PWA, or synced with a server interface through an android or iOS app. Seems like it might be a bit vibe coded with some weird bugs and fast development, but it is pretty good so far.
