I'm asking for a friend, since I also am interested.

"Speaking of food tracking, anyone know of anything simple that will let me do that. Used to have one but they all turned into sub fees and pushing upgrades and meal plans and crap

I just want to be able to select an apple or compile ingredients totals into a sandwich recipe I don't need to pay $8 a month for that"

I might as well look for FOSS ones

I'd consider a web based one, not android specific but they run anywhere on any browser.

I found https://cleanslate.sh/ to be interesting, and it has a lot of very useful info attached on foods/exercise in a very no bullshit fashion.

There's a few others if I search github that are selfhosted, might not be your cup of tea though.

The biggest issue with Foss apps is their food dabase isn't as likely to be as good as the paid ones

Good call on using a website. Didn't even think of that. That makes it way more cross platform without things like app availability. Kind of like how I use piefed then lol

The site looks clean. Definitely will check it out.

Thanks!
