Please Suggest a Privacy-respecting Health and Nutrition (and activity?) App on Android

Questions
1

My spouse is looking for an alternative to Noom (or MyFitnessPal, which seems similar), which is a nutrition/diet and activity app on Android.

Noom was recommended by our insurance provider, and the level of data it collects, none of which is protected by HIPPA because it’s a third party app, is breathtaking. 100% non-starter. I can only assume that our insurance will pay for it because our rates will go up once we give them the slightest insight they can leverage to charge us 7 times what the app subscription costs.

So far I’ve found:

OpenNutriTracker

Waistline

wger

Then maybe Feeel for the activity tracking.

We cook for ourselves so much that silly things like scanning UPC codes are not useful. Anyone have experience with these or other recommendations?

Maybe try a human nutritionist if you cannot find any alternative?

That may have its own issues of course…

Well the app would be for day-to-day tracking, basically a fancy food diary that compiles things like macros. We already eat healthy, so we don’t need the app or a nutritionist to tell us how to eat in broad terms.

I had my time using Cronometer, the privacy policy is apparently HIPAA compliant but I would suggest to create a pseudonymous account using an email alias and fake name.

OpenNutriTracker has similar features but if you care about micro nutrients the database quality is essential otherwise you’ll end up only with macro nutrients data which is not really useful.
In that regard Cronometer is way better.

I use Trale for weight tracking which you can get off accrescent. It may not have enough features for what you are looking for.
