The UK food diary that joins
the food, the training
and how you felt.

Calorie counter, ingredient scanner, reaction diary, workout log, fasting timer, AI Coach. All in the same diary, so the answers come back to your week, not the average person's.

The diary, in the app

One tap. Today's eating.

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,
seven jobs.

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

i

Log a meal in a couple of taps.

Type the food, scan a UK barcode, or photograph the whole plate. We fill in the calories, macros, vitamins and additives so you don't have to.

ii

Know what an E-number actually is.

Every additive on the packet, in plain English. What it is, where it shows up, and what the research says where published evidence exists, with the source.

FLAG · IARC GROUP 1 Sodium nitrite, E250 Used to cure ham, bacon, salami. Eating cured meat regularly raises bowel cancer risk. NHS caps processed meat at 70g a day.
iii

See where you're running short.

14 vitamins and 13 minerals against the UK NRV. As you log, the diary shows what you're actually getting and where the gaps are.

Magnesium 54%
Vitamin C 96%
Iron 78%
Vitamin D 32%
iv

Train, and see what you're putting in to it.

Sets, reps, weight, personal bests. Apple Watch if you train with one. Same diary as your food, so the protein and the calories line up.

v

Fast without buying another app.

16:8, 5:2, or your own pattern. Timer, history, streak. Right next to the food.

14:32 to go
vi

Work out which foods aren't agreeing with you.

Log how you felt after a meal: energy, mood, gut, skin, sleep. Over time the diary spots which foods keep showing up when you feel rubbish, so you've got something solid to take to your GP.

Bloating 4 / 7
Low energy 2 / 7
Headache 2 / 7
vii

Branded or own-brand. From the shops you use.

Scan a Tesco own-brand sandwich. Scan a tin of Heinz. We read both, and we read all the big UK supermarkets.

02 A day in the diary

Log a day.
Here's the entry.

Three meals, a snack, a lift after work and a reaction log before bed. Here's what a Wednesday looks like once it's all on the same page.

One entry. Four feeds.

The food side adds itself up. The Romanian-Deadlift PB lives next to the protein total. The 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 bits together; free tier just runs the food log.

i. Log breakfast, lunch, dinner. Search, barcode or photo.
ii. Log the lift. Sets, reps, weight. Apple Watch optional.
iii. Tag how you felt after a meal. Energy, mood, gut, skin, sleep.
iv. The week sums up by itself. Calories, macros, vitamins, reactions, drift.
03 Same diary, every feature

One page,
everything joined.

Most diary apps split the food, the training and the wellbeing into three apps. We keep them on one page so the answers join up.

In the diary by default
All

Food, additives, reactions, allergens, workouts, fasting, vitamins, minerals. Free or Pro, the diary is one page; what's behind it depends on the tier.

Vitamins & minerals
14 + 13

14 vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, E, K) and 13 minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, selenium and more) against UK NRVs. Pro feature.

Apple Watch & HealthKit
Two-way

Lifts sync to the Watch live. External workouts (a run logged in Apple Fitness, a class in Strava) come back in alongside lifts via HealthKit.

Free vs Pro
£3.99

Free: 25 foods/day, 5 reactions, barcode + additive flag, E-number library on this site. Pro lifts the caps and opens vitamins, workouts, fasting, AI Coach and meal scan.

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.

05 Pricing recap

06 Questions people ask

Food diary
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.
