Food You review
A local-first Android tracker for calories, macros, and micronutrients.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Food You is a free, ad-free Android food diary and nutrition tracker for people who want to monitor more than calories and macronutrients. It also tracks vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and lets users set personalized nutrition targets. Local storage without an account makes it suited to people who prefer keeping their food records on their device. Its open-source model may also appeal to users who value software they can inspect.
Nutrition data comes from Open Food Facts, USDA FoodData Central, and the Swiss Food Composition Database. Users can combine foods into recipes, with nutrition calculated for those recipes, and customize home-screen cards to surface the information they want. This gives the app a broad nutrient-tracking focus rather than limiting it to calorie totals. Buyers should assess whether those food sources and recipe-based logging match their preferred way of recording meals.
The published Free plan is ad-free and open-source, with no paid tiers described. Food You is available on Android, so it is a fit for solo users seeking a no-cost, locally stored tracker on that platform. It is less suitable for someone who needs an app on another platform or is specifically shopping for barcode scanning or meal-tracking features; those capabilities are not established here. Email and community support channels are listed. Choose Food You for local nutrient tracking and recipe nutrition, but consider alternatives if broader platform coverage or those specific logging workflows are essential.
