AI Calorie Counter: Nutrilio

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review on an app but I had to take the time to say how much I’ve been enjoying using this one. And yes it is 100% free. I love that all of the features it advertises stay true to being free. There is an option for some features that require in app purchases but it is all for extra things to enhance your experience if you want them. You won’t hit a paywall using the free version. This lets you track your meals briefly or in detail with the option to add a note. You can customize your supplements and medicine that you take and it tells you exactly what time you took then which is so helpful. You can set a water/liquid intake goal and you can add it per amount of ounces you drink and it adds it up for you. It even takes the water percentage out of the other beverages that you drink and puts it towards your hydration goal. You can set personalized reminder notifications as well which are super helpful. You can also track health symptoms which you can also customize. I love that everything is customizable and it gives you little stickers to choose from too. You can track your weight and exercise daily as well. This has helped me stay on track with my diet, vitamins, medications, etc. It is so quick and convenient. Literally the only thing I wish it would do that it doesn’t is timestamp when you enter your meals. I always just put the time I ate in the notes section. But yeah if you’re looking for a food journal or tracking app this has it all. It’s extremely user friendly and aesthetically pleasing to look at too. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have had experience in the past losing weight with apps like MyFitnessPal. I found that I would get super obsessive about calories to the point where it might have been good for my physical health, but my mental health took a nosedive. I wanted an app where I could still meticulously track, but I could track things that weren’t grams and calories and fat content and whatever else. Then I found this app! I love that I can have goals around things like just getting delivery less often or eating less fast food. It can help me setup healthy lifestyle goals vs counting calories that will be a crutch forever. The app is also very cute and colorful - a real change from some of the other “all business” looking fitness apps. Very enjoyable - became a lifetime member! A couple (super minor) future features that could be nice: It’d be awesome if I could change the meals that matter to me. I like the fasting option, but I wish I could just hide “breakfast” as a category. I don’t really fast, I just am too lazy to eat breakfast haha More precision weight than whole numbers could be nice too. I foresee quite a few weeks where I make progress but <1lb and so I won’t be able to visualize that progress for a while. Integration with other health apps could be nice for auto logging things like exercise or weight.

I love the app so far, enough to buy the lifetime membership (awesome offer btw). The design is clean, the stats are great and in-depth, and I think the addition of symptom tracking is super cool and unique. I haven’t tried the fasting feature but that seems like a nice addition too. I do have some suggestions though. I think the main issue right now is, while it feels great for very generalized tracking (which is probably cool for many people), it would be nice to have the option to do more detailed tracking. Customizable scales would be great, or at least scales for things like grams of protein, fat, carbs, sugar, fiber, etc. Also, I think a bit of separation between diet and exercise could make things more intuitive to use. Right now it feels a little strange to have the “Exercises” group inside the same place where you make a food entry. I think having a section of the journal dedicated to exercise and activity in the same way that breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks have their own sections would make sense.
