About this app

Eating Buddy is a food journal for understanding food urges without calorie counting or dieting.

When eating feels automatic or out of control, tracking numbers often makes things worse. Eating Buddy helps you slow down and notice what’s really happening around food, so you can make more conscious choices over time.

Built on the principles of intuitive eating, Eating Buddy focuses on listening to your body, including hunger, fullness, and food urges.

You log meals alongside how they made you feel, your hunger or fullness, and any notes you want to capture. Over time, patterns become easier to see. This helps you pause earlier, reflect, and respond differently.

🍏 Easily log meals & drinks
Record what you eat in seconds. Choose from a simple menu, create your own entries, or snap a photo if you prefer a visual log.

🌟 Tune into hunger, fullness & satisfaction
Check in with your body throughout the day. Notice hunger levels, fullness after meals, and how eating actually felt, without rules or targets.

🤔 Notice emotions & triggers
Gently observe emotional states, routines, or moments that often show up around eating. Seeing patterns clearly makes them easier to work with.

📝 Reflect with notes
Use notes to capture thoughts, context, or anything you want to remember. Eating Buddy is a private space for reflection, not judgment.

🔖 Organize with tags
Use tags to group entries and reflect on themes over time, whether you are exploring mindful eating, routines, or specific situations.

🎯 Optional challenges
If you like structure, you can join gentle awareness-based challenges designed to support consistency without pressure or perfection.

Eating Buddy is not a calorie tracker, diet app, or weight-loss program.
It is a tool for noticing patterns, listening to your body, and understanding food urges at your own pace.

If you are tired of starting over with food and want a calmer, more thoughtful way to understand your eating, Eating Buddy is here to support you.

Ratings and reviews

Ended up uninstalling it for a few reasons: I think the UI could be better, it often feels too cramped and lacking. I should be able to go back to previous days and add more food, to be able to change the day we are logging, not just the time. There should be a database/library that it pulls meals from other options people have put in when we begin typing our own or something similar. Adding calorie amount, food category, drink type, option to put in meal or individual items, etc.

I've been trying to eat more intuitively for a while now, and this app is exactly what I was looking for. Logging my meals on my phone is more convenient than pen and paper, but I was trying to use a calorie counting app and just ignore the calorie numbers. If you've ever been on a diet, you can probably guess how that went. This app is geared towards IE (hence the name), so it has no mention of calories, and it prompts you to check in with your body before and after meals. I love it so far!

Versatile and nonjudgmental - this app lets me enter what I ate with or without calories. It doesn't have a database of food, but I can look things up. Anyway, the point is to eat mindfully, and to gain a trusting relationship with my body. This will also export to excel, which is a bonus if I need to prove anything to my doctor.
