WeightBuddy review
A mobile tracker for photo-based meals, macros, fasting and weight progress.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WeightBuddy is a mobile weight-loss and nutrition app for individuals building everyday weight-management habits. It combines photo-based AI meal logging with calorie and macro tracking, weight and progress records, activity logging, and intermittent-fasting windows. An AI Buddy chat provides guidance, while health-data syncing can bring in steps, weight and workouts. The combination suits people who want food, activity and weight tracking in one app, with automated assistance rather than a narrow calorie counter.
Food logging is the central feature: users can photograph meals for AI calorie and macro estimates, including protein, carbohydrates and fat. That offers a lower-friction route to recording meals than relying only on manual entry, though estimates are not a substitute for precise nutrition data when accuracy is critical. WeightBuddy also tracks fasting windows and activity, so it covers several everyday logging habits. It is not positioned here as a meal-planning product; people whose priority is structured meal plans or a broader nutrition program should compare alternatives built around those needs.
WeightBuddy runs on iOS and Android and syncs with Apple HealthKit or Android Health Connect; Google Fit works through Health Connect. WeightBuddy Plus is available weekly for €5.99 or yearly for €35.99. Both plans include unlimited AI meals, activities and questions to Buddy. Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and prices can vary by country, currency, taxes, platform and promotions. Website purchases have a 14-day refund window; app-store refunds are handled by Apple or Google. Choose WeightBuddy for mobile-first tracking with AI meal estimates and health-data syncing. It is a less natural fit for someone seeking desktop access or a meal-planning-centered service.
