Yazio pairs a calorie counter with an intermittent fasting tracker, which suits people who want both in one place. The free app includes a food diary with custom calorie goals, a barcode scanner, macro and nutrition analysis, a water tracker with reminders, step and workout tracking and a database of 4 million+ searchable items. You can start without signing up. The fasting tracker supports plans such as 16:8 and 5:2, and the recipe section has more than 2,900 goal-friendly recipes with filters for low-carb, vegetarian and vegan, a grocery list and a cooking mode. Pro adds in-depth food analysis, custom meal plans, mood and body tracking, long-term trends, Fitbit and Garmin sync, and removes ads. Yazio does not describe how its database entries are verified, so it trails Cronometer and MyNetDiary on accuracy. The US App Store lists many Pro prices across 3, 6 and 12 month terms, so we mark pricing as pending.
