Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Cronometer.
MyNetDiary
A calorie counter with a staff-verified food database, barcode scanning and up to 108 nutrients per food.
MyNetDiary uses a staff-verified database with up to 108 nutrients per food, free barcode scanning with no ads and no required account, but has a smaller community.
MyFitnessPal
A calorie and macro tracking app with a large food database, meal photo scanning and voice logging.
MyFitnessPal has a very large food database and photo and voice logging, but focuses on calories and macros with less micronutrient detail and carries advertising.
MacroFactor
A macro tracker and diet coach that adjusts calorie targets by estimating your energy expenditure.
MacroFactor adjusts calorie targets to your estimated expenditure with coaching built in, but it is paid only and runs on Android and iOS without a web app.
fatsecret
A calorie counter and food diary app for tracking nutrition intake and weight loss progress.
fatsecret provides a free food diary on iOS, Android and the web, aimed at weight loss, with less emphasis on detailed vitamin and mineral tracking.
Lose It!
A calorie counter and weight loss tracker with barcode scanning and photo food logging.
Lose It! logs food by voice, barcode or photo with macro and water tracking, and is centred on weight loss rather than detailed micronutrient analysis.
Yazio
A calorie counter and intermittent fasting tracker with food logging, recipes and fitness tracker sync.
Yazio pairs calorie counting with intermittent fasting timers and recipes, logging by photo or barcode, and syncs steps from fitness trackers, with less nutrient depth.
Carb Manager
A keto and low-carb diet tracker with net carb counting, meal plans and a recipe library.
Carb Manager focuses on keto and low-carb diets with net carb counting, meal plans and over 50,000 recipes, and is less suited to other diets.
wger

wger is free and open source and can be self-hosted, combining nutrition tracking with workout planning, but self-hosting means running and maintaining your own server.
