I've tracked my calories and macros off and on for years, and always felt that the existing solutions were bloated and clunky to use. Since food tracking is something you do multiple times a day, every day, I sought out to build something that made tracking a bit less of a pain in the butt.
A few things that make FitBee stand out:
* Fast, lightweight and to the point - The app is just about tracking your nutrition and makes that front and center. I've tried to make things that you do often as simple as possible (e.g., log yesterday's breakfast).
* Photo Logging - You can take a photo of a food and get an estimate of the calories and macros. It's not 100% accurate but it's been super helpful for me when eating at a restaurant that doesn't have published nutrition info.
* Accurate nutrition data - The nutrition data is sourced from the USDA dataset and nutrition labels off the packages. I also spent effort adding east asian foods (e.g. things you get at 99 Ranch or Weee) to the database, since those were hard to find/track in other apps I've tried.
* Recipe importing - You can pretty much point any recipe at the app and it'll import the ingredients and generate nutrition information for you. As I got more into fitness, I started to cook more so this has been super helpful.
* Robust Apple Health support - You can sync data with Apple Health. I wear an Apple Watch so it's great for getting the energy burned through exercises.
* No Ads, Sign in with Apple - Uses Sign in with Apple to protect your privacy. No ads.
* Monthly Subscription - If you want to use some of the more advanced features, the app is $5/month.
