Comparison
A MyFitnessPal alternative focused on the numbers that matter
Food-logging apps are great at logging, and come with ads, upsells, and your data in their cloud. If what you actually need is the right calorie and macro targets and a clear trend line, two small private tools do that.
SoftwareMacro & TDEE Calculator
Your BMR, TDEE, calories, and macros - with every step of the math shown.
SoftwareProgress Tracker
Track weight and measurements with a trend line and 7-day average.
EbookFat Loss That Lasts
The science-based, no-hype guide to losing fat and keeping it off.
The short answer
For people who mainly want correct targets and progress tracking, the alternative to MyFitnessPal is a macro calculator that shows its math (BMR, TDEE, calories, protein, carbs, fat) plus a private progress tracker with a 7-day average trend. MyFitnessPal is better if you want to log every meal against a huge food database.
