  • I’ve never used Macrofactor so I can’t make a great comparison, the only commercial calorie tracker I’ve used is Lose It.

    Major differences would be:

    The food database - I don’t know what Macrofactor uses but I use Open Food Facts and the USDA.

    Manatee Fitness has zero monetization. No subscription, ads, or tracking. I never want to have access to my users data.

    Macrofactor likely has a much more polished UI. I do my best but I’m far from a professional designer.







  • The food database is initially loaded with info from the USDA! That covers generic stuff like eggs or milk. Anything new is either added manually or sourced from the Open Food Facts database which is already crowdsourced.

    I’m prioritizing Google Play but after that’s settled I’m open to f-droid as well. Most of the people I know that’ll benefit from this app the most wouldn’t know how to even install f-droid.
