The UK food diary app for every meal in one place

Log every meal, snack and drink by name, barcode or photo, and NutraSafe counts the calories and macros. It also reads the ingredients off the label and tracks your reactions. Food, workouts, fasting and reactions all sit in the same diary.

The diary, in the app

Calories, macros, vitamins and processed food in one diary

Today's meals, the calories and macros, the vitamins and minerals against the UK NRV, the processed-food breakdown. All on one screen, no swiping required.

01 What's in the diary

One diary for food, additives, vitamins and workouts

Food and training. Reactions and fasting. Additives and vitamins. All in one place, so the picture of your week lines up by itself.

Log a meal by name, barcode or photo

Type the food, scan a UK barcode, or photograph the whole plate. NutraSafe fills in the calories, macros and the additives off the label, then adds it to your day. Logging is free for up to 25 foods a day; Pro lifts the cap.

See what every E-number actually is

Every additive on the packet, in plain English: what it is, where it shows up, and, where published research exists, the concern and who published it, with the source. Sodium nitrite (E250), used to cure ham and bacon, is one example. Eating cured meat regularly is linked to bowel cancer, and the NHS caps processed meat at 70g a day.

Track 14 vitamins and 12 minerals

Every food you log is checked against 14 vitamins and 12 minerals, measured to the UK Nutrient Reference Values. As you log, the diary shows what you're actually getting and where the gaps are, day by day and week by week. (Pro.)

Log your workouts in the same diary

Sets, reps, weight and personal bests, with Apple Watch sync if you train with one. Because training sits in the same diary as your food, the protein you ate and the calories in against the calories out line up. (Pro.)

Fasting timer built into the diary

16:8, 5:2, or your own pattern, with a timer, history and streak sitting right next to the food. No second app to buy. (Pro.)

Spot the foods that don't agree with you

Log how you felt after a meal: energy, mood, gut, skin, sleep. Over weeks the diary spots which foods keep showing up when you feel rough, so you've got something solid to take to your GP or a registered dietitian. Free for 5 reactions; full history and suspected triggers on Pro.

Branded and own-brand from UK supermarkets

Scan a Tesco own-brand sandwich or a tin of Heinz, and NutraSafe reads both. It uses the standard UK barcode, the same format every supermarket uses.

02 A day in the diary

What a day in the diary looks like

Three meals, a snack, a lift after work and a reaction log before bed, all on the same page.

One day: food, training and a reaction

The food side adds itself up as you go. A Romanian-deadlift PB sits next to the day's protein total. A bloating log at 22:00 stays attached to the curry it came after, so two weeks later the pattern surfaces if it keeps happening. Pro stitches the pieces together; the free tier runs the food log on its own.

A normal day goes in four steps. Log breakfast, lunch and dinner by search, barcode or photo. Log the lift, sets, reps and weight, with Apple Watch optional. Tag how you felt after a meal, energy, mood, gut, skin or sleep. Then the week sums up by itself: calories, macros, vitamins, reactions and processed-food drift.

If bloating keeps showing up on curry nights, the diary surfaces that pattern. It doesn't diagnose an intolerance. It gives you something concrete to take to your GP or a registered dietitian.

04 What we don't do

A diary, not a clinician

We surface patterns. We don't diagnose, we don't prescribe, we don't tell you to cut a food. Take any pattern to your GP or a registered dietitian.

What the diary does, and what it doesn't

On the published evidence, keeping a food diary is associated with better weight-loss outcomes on average, mostly through the awareness it creates. We can't promise that for your week, only the average. If weight loss is the goal, a registered dietitian is the person to see; we're the tool you bring to the appointment.

For reactions, we flag foods that keep showing up before symptoms. That's pattern surfacing, not diagnosis. An intolerance test is a clinical conversation; the diary gives you something concrete to take into it. Same for the vitamin and mineral side, the percentages against UK NRVs are observations, not a supplement prescription.

06 Questions people ask

Food diary app FAQ

The questions we see most in app reviews and support. If yours isn't here, our contact page goes to a real inbox.

What's the best food diary app for UK users?

We're built for UK supermarket barcodes (not a French database), we cover vitamins and minerals against UK NRVs (not just macros), and we have a proper reaction tracker (not a notes field bolted onto a calorie counter). NutraSafe Pro is £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year, free up to 25 foods a day.

Does keeping a food diary help with weight loss?

On the published evidence, yes on average. People who keep a food diary tend to lose more weight than people who don't, mostly through awareness. We can't promise anything about your individual result. If weight loss is the goal, see a registered dietitian; we're the tool you'd bring to the appointment.

What should I track in a food diary?

What you ate, roughly how much, and how you felt afterwards. We work out the macros and the vitamins automatically from the barcode. The reaction tag is the optional bit, and it's where the pattern-spotting lives.

How long should I keep a food diary?

For reaction patterns to show up, two to four weeks. For weight-loss support, as long as it stays useful. Most people drop off after a few weeks and that's normal: the awareness sticks even when the logging stops.

Is the food diary free?

The download is free. You can log up to 25 foods a day and 5 reactions ever on the free tier. NutraSafe Pro is £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year, lifts both caps, and adds vitamin tracking against UK NRVs, the AI Coach, AI meal scan, fasting, workouts and the suspected-trigger view.

Does the diary work with training and fasting?

Yes. Workouts (sets, reps, weight, Apple Watch sync) and fasting (16:8, 5:2 or custom) live in the same diary as your food, so calories in, calories out and the protein side line up. Both are Pro features.
