How to choose.

If you don't want to pay, start with Easy Diet Diary. It says it's free with no ads, and it's made in Australia with Australian food data.

If you want the biggest database, look at MyFitnessPal. It lists over 20.5 million foods, and its free and paid features differ, so check what you need before you start.

If logging is what makes you quit, pick an app built around fast logging, such as Cal AI or CalCut. Check what's behind a paywall first.

If you want more structure, look at Lose It! for a calorie budget and schedule, or Noom for daily lessons and optional coaching.

If you've tried diaries and stopped, that's who we built CalCut for. There are two daily rules: stay in your calorie target and hit your step goal. A$1,000 every month to whoever's the most consistent. Most points for hitting your two daily rules wins. It's iPhone only, and only one member wins each month.
