If you are counting calories in Europe, the choice usually comes down to Yazio or MyFitnessPal. Both are solid food trackers with big followings. They differ in feel more than function, and they share the same limitation, which is worth naming before you pick one.
Yazio
Yazio is the tidy, design-led one. It is especially popular across Germany, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, with a clean interface, built-in recipes and meal plans, and a fasting tracker included. The free tier is usable, and Pro unlocks recipes and deeper analysis. If you like an app that feels calm and guided, Yazio is easy to love.
MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is the heavyweight. Its food database is the biggest out there, so obscure products and restaurant items turn up more often, and barcode scanning is fast. The catch is well known. The free tier is heavy with ads, and Premium runs about $19.99 a month.
What they have in common
Both are food only. Neither tracks your training in any real way, so if you lift or run, that lives somewhere else entirely. Your diet is in one app, your workouts in another, and nothing joins them up.
The third option
Rep N Prep logs your food like both of these. A calorie ring, macros, barcode scanning, even photo and describe logging. It also tracks your workouts and cardio, with a coach that reads diet and training as one picture. No ads on any tier.
And unlike switching between food apps, you keep your history. Rep N Prep reads your MyFitnessPal export directly, matching on names and macros, so your diary comes across on day one. (Full detail in Leaving MyFitnessPal? Read this first.)
