I built Eatzly because I spent years logging food in apps that got the basics wrong.
I started tracking my food in 2011 with Excel spreadsheets after a bad IBS episode made me realize I needed to take my health seriously. In 2015 I switched to MyFitnessPal because it seemed easier. It was, for a while. Then the problems started piling up.
The food database was full of errors. A soup listed as "per 100g" was actually per 600g container. Saturated fat higher than total fat. Calories that didn't match the macros. I'd find a good entry for cold chicken, use it regularly, then it would vanish and I'd have to hunt through fifteen near-identical duplicates to find another one that was actually right. I was spending time logging data that was wrong. What's the point of that?
On top of the data problems, the app kept dragging me through blogs and ads when all I wanted was my diary. Constant update prompts. Features I never asked for. It felt like the app was working against me.
I also have IBS-D. Had it on and off for over 20 years. No mainstream food tracker lets you log IBS incidents properly alongside your meals. The IBS-specific apps have no nutrition tracking at all. I was stuck using multiple apps and still learning nothing about my triggers.
So I built the app I actually needed.
ACCURATE DATA YOU CONTROL
Every food in Eatzly is verified. You scan the label and the app captures everything: calories, macros, micros, ingredients, barcode. If the numbers don't add up (protein x4 + carbs x4 + fat x9 doesn't match the calories), you get a prompt to double-check. No crowd-sourced guesswork. No junk entries. Your data is right because you control it.
YOUR FOODS, ALWAYS FINDABLE
Your regular foods stay where you can find them. My Foods, favorites, dishes. I eat roughly 200 foods regularly and I got tired of searching for them every time. In Eatzly, your common foods are always there.
IBS AND SYMPTOM TRACKING
Log IBS incidents with tags, severity, and timing. Food entries are timestamped (down to the minute, not just the meal). This matters because IBS reactions are delayed, sometimes by a day or more. If you only look at your last meal before symptoms hit, you're almost certainly blaming the wrong food. I did that for years.
The app also flags ingredients in your foods that are known higher-risk for IBS. Still refining this, but it helps.
PATTERN DISCOVERY
Eatzly looks for patterns between your nutrition, symptoms, sleep, and activity. Not generic advice from a textbook. Real correlations from your own data. Data export is a core feature. Take your Eatzly data and give it to whatever AI tool you want.
REPORTS THAT SHOW YOU SOMETHING
Weekly, monthly, and yearly views. Calories by meal. Macros and micros against your goals. Trends over time.
WHAT YOU CAN TRACK
- Calories, protein, carbs, fat, sugar, saturated fat, fiber, salt, water
- Micronutrients from scanned labels
- IBS incidents (with tags, timing, severity, notes)
- Weight and body composition
- Activity
- Custom health markers
NO NOISE
No social feeds. No blogs inside the app. No recipe recommendations. No gamification beyond a simple logging streak. The app should be lean and efficient: log your food, check your data, get on with your day.
WHO THIS IS FOR
If you've been logging food for a while and you're frustrated with bad data, bloated apps, or trackers that never actually teach you anything about your body, this is the app I wish had existed when I started.
If you're managing IBS and you want to actually find your triggers instead of guessing, the timestamped food logging and symptom tracking are built for exactly that.
If you care about building an accurate, long-term health dataset, Eatzly gives you the tools and the data export to make that worthwhile.
