Best macro tracker for eating-disorder recovery
This is the category most apps mishandle. Aggressive calorie minimums, gamified streaks, and red-flag warnings can be actively harmful in recovery.
How we judged this category
Welling has a clinician-reviewed recovery mode that hides calorie totals, prioritises mechanical eating, and routes red flags to your dietitian. We surface it here because the alternative is using an app that is the wrong tool entirely.
Top 5 picks
Welling
Recovery mode hides calories, surfaces structure, integrates with care teams.
Cronometer
Can be configured to hide calories; useful with an RD in the loop.
MacroFactor
No streak gamification; cleaner UX than most.
MyFitnessPal
Adequate if calorie display is hidden.
Lose It!
Functional but gamification can be triggering.

Other categories you may want
GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)
On semaglutide or tirzepatide, your appetite signal is unreliable. The job of the tracker shifts from restriction to making sure you hit a protein floor and adequate calories.
Beginners
For someone who has never tracked before, the right app is the one they actually open on day 30.
