About Nutracheck

Nutracheck is a British calorie counter and food diary that has been running since 2005. You log meals in the phone app, with a barcode scanner for packaged food, or on the website, and it tracks calories along with seven key nutrients: carbs, sugar, fibre, protein, fat, saturated fat and sodium. Its food database is strong on UK supermarket and restaurant products, which is its main draw over US-centred apps. There is an exercise diary, and it links to Fitbit and Apple Health to pull in activity and send back calorie totals. Unlike many rivals there is no free tier: you get a seven-day free trial and then pay a monthly or annual subscription. It runs on iPhone, Android and the web, and suits UK users who want an honest food diary for steady weight loss rather than a fasting or coaching program.

Best for: UK dieters who want a food diary built around British food products.
