About this app

Did you know that only 2 in 10 people who diet or count calories manage to keep the weight off? And, at the same time, more than 3 in 10 people end up gaining more weight than before they started.

So chances are, dieting or counting calories will leave you worse off overall.

Eating Buddy offers a different approach

Your body is designed to regulate weight naturally. But highly processed foods, dieting, and chronic stress can override its signals to a point where eating feels out of control.

That’s where Eating Buddy steps in. It helps you return to a more natural, intuitive way of eating through awareness.

How it works

🍏 Log meals and body cues in seconds
Quickly log meals, hunger, and fullness to build awareness.

🌟 Track what affects your eating
Note mood, workouts, sleep, and drinks to see what influences how you eat.

🔖 Reflect and organize
Use notes or tags to add context and categorize meals.

📈 See Patterns over time
Eating Buddy helps surface patterns so connections become easier to notice.

🎯 Choose challenges that fit you
Based on your patterns, pick supportive challenges to focus on one small, meaningful change at a time.

If you are tired of starting over with dieting and want a calmer, more sustainable way to relate to food, download Eating Buddy now to get started.

Ended up uninstalling it for a few reasons: I think the UI could be better, it often feels too cramped and lacking. I should be able to go back to previous days and add more food, to be able to change the day we are logging, not just the time. There should be a database/library that it pulls meals from other options people have put in when we begin typing our own or something similar. Adding calorie amount, food category, drink type, option to put in meal or individual items, etc.

Hi Cat, thanks for the feedback! It's already possible to change the meal date from the Meal Edit screen—just tap on the meal to access it. For privacy reasons, we don’t collect any data from our users. Also, we don’t plan to add calories, since this is an intuitive eating app. That said, we’ll definitely review and consider your other suggestions!

I've been trying to eat more intuitively for a while now, and this app is exactly what I was looking for. Logging my meals on my phone is more convenient than pen and paper, but I was trying to use a calorie counting app and just ignore the calorie numbers. If you've ever been on a diet, you can probably guess how that went. This app is geared towards IE (hence the name), so it has no mention of calories, and it prompts you to check in with your body before and after meals. I love it so far!

Versatile and nonjudgmental - this app lets me enter what I ate with or without calories. It doesn't have a database of food, but I can look things up. Anyway, the point is to eat mindfully, and to gain a trusting relationship with my body. This will also export to excel, which is a bonus if I need to prove anything to my doctor.
