It’s also incredibly flexible and works with any diet, from keto to paleo to high protein, or you can choose to start with a three-week weight loss kickstarter plan.

myfitnesspal
Sign Up Now
Why We Chose It: MyFitnessPal is our pick for best food logging due to its extensive food database and barcode scanning abilities.
Pros
Enormous database of different foods, along with barcode scanning
Connects with over 50 apps
Forums available for support, questions, and encouragement
Free version allows for quite a bit of functionality (food tracking, nutrition insights, exercise tracking, water intake, etc.)
Cons
Nutrient data is only as accurate as the users who input it
May encourage consumption of processed foods because they’re easier to track than entering in fresh recipes
Many people shy away from the thought of food logging, because it’s historically time-consuming and frustrating. With MyFitnessPal, keeping a food journal is easier than ever.
This app is renowned for its massive food database of more than 11 million foods (which continues to grow!). This database makes food logging easier than ever: All you have to do is scan a barcode (if the food is packaged) or search for the item (if it’s not packaged, like an apple or banana).
Additionally, you can create your own personal food database for foods you eat often. MyFitnessPal also gives you a nice breakdown of your daily macronutrient intake so you can see how well you’re sticking to your goals.

Best for Nutrition Education: Fooducate
Fooducate
Sign Up Now
Why We Chose It: Fooducate is an excellent choice for individuals or families looking for a diet app that tracks the number and quality of calories, encourages healthy eating, and provides tips and information about nutrition.
Pros
Encourages healthy eating rather than just calorie counting
Community support is provided on the app or website
Free to download and ad-free version is a one-time cost of only $3.99
Cons
Some functionality glitches on Android
Doesn’t sync with other apps or devices
Not everyone agrees on what the app deems as “healthy”
If you’re new to the world of nutrition, exercise, and wellness, you may feel overwhelmed with all of the information out there. Fooducate aims to make healthy eating easier for everyone, from beginners to nutrition experts. The app’s wealth of articles and tips on nutrition and exercise makes it less overwhelming to integrate new healthy habits into your lifestyle. But this app is more than just an educational platform: You can track meals and recipes, exercise, sleep, mood, and hunger level.

Perhaps the biggest differentiator about Fooducate is that not only can you track calories, but you can track the quality of the calories you eat—a very important but often overlooked factor when it comes to healthy eating.
When you scan barcodes in the app, Fooducate analyzes information in the nutrition panels to look for components such as added sugars, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, GMOs, and more. Each food you enter receives a personalized nutrition grade (A, B, C, or D) based on your health status and goals.

Connects with Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, Google Fit and hundreds of other trackers and apps
Free version is sufficient for basic keto tracking (net carbs, calories, etc.)
Cons
Several tracking features are limited to the paid premium membership (including meal plans, recipes, grocery lists, and body measurements

Difficult to customize meal plans based on dietary restrictions or preferences
Comprehensive yet straightforward, Carb Manager tracks calories, net carbs, ketones, blood glucose, insulin, glycemic load, and more to perfectly manage your keto diet. In addition to those advanced features, you can also track basic metrics such as water intake, exercise, and body weight. The app analyzes all of this information and provides reports on how your diet is helping you reach your goals.
You can track more than one million foods in the app’s database, connect Carb Manager to your other fitness apps and devices (such as a Fitbit or Apple Watch), browse recipes and meal plans, create custom grocery lists, and log your food via photo or voice command.
