MyFitnessPal in detail
Strengths
The largest food database in the world (14 million+ items). Massive community. Very reliable barcode scanner. Compatible with most wearable devices and fitness apps. Functional free version for basic tracking.
Weaknesses
Aging interface that hasn't evolved much since 2015. Ubiquitous ads in the free version. Community database can be inaccurate (duplicates, errors). No recipe adaptation or smart planning.
Yazio in detail
Strengths
Modern and pleasant interface. Good coverage of European products. Integrated recipes (in Premium). Detailed visual reports. Intermittent fasting tracker.
Weaknesses
The best features are paid (planning, recipes, advanced reports). The free version is more limited than MFP's. No AI recipe adaptation. Ads in the free version.
What if neither was enough?
MyFitnessPal and Yazio share the same philosophy: you enter what you eat, and the app does the math. It's pure tracking. FoodCraft turns the problem upside down: instead of counting after the fact, the AI adapts every recipe beforehand so your meals already match your goals. Less work, more concrete results.
AI recipe adaptation
Neither MFP nor Yazio modify recipes for your macros. FoodCraft automatically adjusts every dish — calories, protein, restrictions.
Spark Vision
Snap a photo of a dish and get recipes tailored to your profile. Neither tracker offers this feature.
Free and ad-free
The core of FoodCraft is free and contains no advertising. MFP and Yazio force ads into their free versions.
Verdict
Choose MyFitnessPal if you need the most comprehensive food database and a time-tested tracker. Choose Yazio if you prefer a sleek interface and visual reports. Choose FoodCraft if you want to go beyond tracking: adapt your recipes, plan your meals intelligently, and cook according to your goals.
Go beyond counting
FoodCraft adapts every recipe to your macros. Not just tracking — smart cooking.
