## What is Nutrients & Calories?

Dieting is not just about calories but also about the kinds of calories you eat.

Our clear easy-to-use interface makes it easy to ensure you are getting the right proportion of macronutrients - carbs, protein and fats to match your diet.

The step-by-step setup process will work out your calorie requirements and nutrient ratios based on your diet and weight loss goal. Preset nutrient ratios for many common diets are included as well as support for 5:2 fasting days.

New foods can be entered in seconds using our custom keypad which has built-in unit support and the ability to enter simple calculations and fractions.

Lookup foods by barcode using OpenFoodFacts, recall recently eaten foods, or search the built-in USDA fresh food database containing thousands of common food items - all from within the food entry screen.

Fully supports the Apple Health app. The calories and nutrient values of the foods you eat are synced to the Health app and your daily calorie target is automatically adjusted as your weight changes.

### 5/5 — Dave

*2026-05-18*

Great app to keep you on track without to much fuss and messing around.👍

### 5/5 — Breath of Fresh Air

*2026-04-13*

Finally an app that isn’t subscription based, this might be the last of its kind. And 5 years since the last review? People are sleeping on this app. I find the simplicity to be a feature rather than a drawback, less is more when it comes to building new habits. 

I appreciate the publisher for having even updated this 3 months ago, I hope you keep it up! With the right attention, this app could sell a lot

### 5/5 — Clever Logging App

*2026-04-12*

This app allows you to log your foods and drinks throughout a day. Individual food items can be combined into a meal that can be quickly recalled on future days. That gives it a slow feeling start, but after a while logging is quick and easy. 

Its use of custom keypads is smart, as it makes logging meal times and weights a breeze.

All round a well written app, with low memory usage too.

### 4/5 — Язык

*2021-08-06*

Добавьте русский язык 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent User Interface

*2020-12-28*

Very easy data entry and intuitive to use. Simple and aesthetically pleasing.

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2020-10-31*

Absolutely love how simple this is for everyday use!

### 3/5 — Good functionality but crashes out occasionally

*2020-08-23*

App closes on its own when I’m use.  However, it has good functionality and logical use.

### 5/5 — Perfect, easy, essential

*2020-08-02*

Easiest to use little calorie tracker I’ve ever used.  When you can track calories so easily, it does inspire sticking to the diet much more successfully.   Love it, thank you developers.

### 3/5 — Nice app BUT

*2020-04-08*

This is a nice app, but does not have a large library of routine foods that are used by everyone. Like can of tomatoes, etc.

### 1/5 — Food database rubbish

*2020-01-28*

Tried to scan a weeks worth of food and almost nothing is recognised. Such a pity because the weight tracker is excellent.

**Developer response:** We use openfoodfacts.org for our barcode scanning and it is a community whose mission is to catalog nutritional information for as many foods as possible. In the UK there are only about 20,000 entries (compared to 200,000 in the US) so your results are not entirely unexpected.

However, Nutrients was designed to make it easy to enter new food items and after you do this once you can recall them quickly by barcode or from the Recents section of the food entry screen.
