I've been recently looking into watching my weight and diet again. I had used Noom in the past and really liked their services, but then it came out that they were essentially wiretapping everyone. It seems like every health focused app is selling health information now.

Does anyone know of any good privacy focused health services? Currently I think my only options are logging my calories in a paper book lol.

My opinion:

waistline is best for calories
openscale is best for tracking weight (disable all other metrics)

F-droid store has a number of health tracking apps. I haven't used any but saw them while looking for apps that would integrate with my Garmin watch.

I created some buttons with Tasker that log my desired entries into a seperate calendar which I download from time to time to analyse.

Sounds like you'd love to use track and graph
