Where each one is stronger

Where Eat This Much is stronger

  • Daily meal plans, food tracking, custom foods and recipes and barcode foods are on its free plan.[2]
  • It can send the grocery list to Instacart or AmazonFresh and plans around what is already in your virtual pantry.[1]
  • Premium comes with a 30-day no-questions-asked refund guarantee and a 14-day free trial.[3]

Where CalorTracker falls short

  • Meal plans are a Premium feature; the free plan does not generate them.
  • No grocery delivery integration and no pantry.
  • No barcode scanner: packaged food is logged from a photo of the label or by hand.

What CalorTracker does differently

  • Planning and logging together

    The plan, the shopping list and what you actually ate sit in one diary, so the remaining calories and macros for the day are always on the dashboard.

  • Plan only what is left today

    The planner can fill just the meals still ahead of you, and works out each portion's macros from its own ingredients.

  • Log what you ate, not just what you planned

    A photo, a spoken sentence or a typed line logs the meal that went off plan, which the free plan allows in a small daily amount.

The verdict

Choose Eat This Much if free daily plans, grocery delivery and a pantry are the point. Choose CalorTracker if you want the plan to live next to a food log you fill by photo, voice or text, with a coach.
