I have been looking for a good calorie tracker on iOS for some time, but have never found one with the features I want while being either open source or privacy respecting (or both). Android has a few options but the UI is very dated to day the least.

In order to fill this gap, I am considering building one, but if someone can point me to an existing app to save me the time, I would be very thankful.

    Counting calories is an unhealthy mental obsession. Please just stay active and eat healthy foods from a quality source not packed with crap ingredients. I’ve seen many people go down that path and it ends up doing a lot of harm to them mentally

      Calorie counting is the only real proven way to lose weight over long periods. Also, I am an avid weight lifter and in the middle of a bulk. Calories and macros are extremely important.

        I weight lift too and at my peak and any other time I never counted calories. I ate intuitively and foods from healthy sources. I understand everyone’s body metabolizes differently but I see, especially in the fitness world, people harming their minds by focusing too much on calories.
