Looking for a MyFitnessPal alternative?
Classic trackers are built around a food database: you search, you pick, you enter grams. That works — until the day you cannot be bothered. Fat Track starts from the other end: a photo of the plate, and the entry writes itself.
Photo-first
The default way to log is a picture, not a database search.
In a messenger
The bot lives in Telegram or MAX — nothing to install to get started.
Workouts included
Programmes, a tempo player and rep counting in the same subscription.
No ads
One paid plan, no advertising and no upsells inside the diary.
Where Fat Track is genuinely different
- Logging starts with a photo, a sentence or a voice note — a database search is the fallback, not the main path.
- It works inside a chat: for most people that removes the «open the app» step that kills the habit.
- Corrections are conversational: «no oil, about 250 g» instead of editing numeric fields.
- Home workouts sit next to the diary, and burned calories land in the same daily target automatically.
Where the classics are still stronger
Feature sets and regional availability of AI scanning in other apps change often — check inside the app you are comparing before deciding.
- Barcode and packaged-food coverage: mature databases have years of user-submitted products behind them.
- Third-party integrations: long-standing links with trackers, scales and fitness platforms.
- Recipe libraries built by large communities over many years.
Who tends to switch
People who have already tried a database tracker and stopped within a month, not because it was inaccurate, but because logging felt like paperwork. Photo entry removes most of that work, and the diary survives the busy weeks.
People who want food and training in one place, and who would rather pay once for everything than assemble a stack of apps with separate subscriptions.
Questions
Can I import my history from another tracker?
Not automatically today. You can start fresh — the profile and targets take a couple of minutes, and the useful part of the history is the trend you build from here.
Is there a free version?
There is a full-access trial without a card. After that a single subscription covers the diary, analytics and workouts, with no ads and no feature paywalls inside.
Does it have a barcode scanner?
Yes, in the app — though for packaged food typing the name and weight is often faster than scanning.
Do I need Telegram to use it?
No. The web app works in any browser with its own login, and it can be installed to your home screen.
Try the photo-first way for a week
If logging a meal takes ten seconds, the diary survives the weeks when you have no energy for it — that is the whole idea.
