Why it matters
The free versions of most calorie apps stop at the useful part.
It's common for a calorie counter to be free to download while the photo scanner, the barcode scanner or custom macro goals need a subscription. C for Calories was built the other way round: the whole tracker is free, and the only thing you can pay for is fewer ads.
Four ways to log
