FreeMealTracker
Free calorie counter
Log your food quickly. Understand how your weight is changing.
A personal calorie budget instead of a one-size-fits-all figure, an honest forecast with a range instead of promises. For phone and computer, with no ads.
Free forever · Premium with photo recognition €5/month, cancel any time
Everything a food diary needs. Free.
Personal calorie budget
Based on age, height, weight, sex and activity. Target dates that are too tight are adjusted instead of setting an extreme deficit.
Quick logging
Search basic foods and branded products, scan barcodes, add favourites with one tap, or enter manually. In grams, millilitres or pieces.
Over 7,000 foods
Basic foods and dishes from the German Nutrient Database (BLS), with raw and cooked listed separately, plus branded products via search or barcode.
Daily overview
Budget, eaten and remaining, plus protein, carbs and fat. Exercise isn’t counted twice.
Honest monthly summary
Days you didn’t log count as “no data”, never as zero calories. Scale readings and estimates are kept separate.
Forecast with a range
The forecast takes into account that your needs fall as you lose weight, and gets more accurate with every weigh-in.
Premium: take a photo, done.
The AI recognises foods and estimates the amounts – you check and save. Or simply describe your meal in one sentence. €5 a month, cancel monthly.

Frequently asked questions
Is the app really free?+
Yes. Diary, food search, barcode, favourites, calorie budget, monthly summary and weight forecast are free for good. Only AI logging by photo or description costs €5 a month as Premium, because every analysis incurs running costs.
How are my calorie needs calculated?+
From your age, height, weight, sex and how active you are day to day and when exercising (Mifflin-St Jeor formula). BMI alone isn’t enough. If your target date is too tight, we suggest a later one instead of an extreme deficit.
How accurate is the photo recognition?+
It gives you a suggestion, not a measurement. Oil, sauces and portion sizes are hard to spot in photos. That’s why you check and correct every ingredient before it is saved.
What happens to my data?+
Your diary is stored encrypted so you can use it on your phone and computer. At any time you can back it up as a file, delete just the diary or delete your whole account. Photos for the AI analysis are not stored.
Do I need an app from the app store?+
No. The app runs in your browser and can be added to your phone’s home screen like a regular app – it even works offline.
