Self-hosted nutrition + wellness tracker. Latest release rolls up two weeks of work.

New features (rc.21 → rc.26):

  • Recipe yields — declare "this makes N servings" and per-serving math flows through the diary
  • Intermittent fasting tracker — custom presets, history, recurring schedule that auto-starts at a chosen time on chosen days
  • Adaptive TDEE — learns your true daily expenditure from a rolling 35-day window of weight + diary instead of a static estimate
  • Android biometric sign-in — fingerprint / face unlock in server-connected mode
  • Per-serving Open Food Facts import — when a barcode-scanned product has serving data, prefill nutrition per-serving instead of per-100g
  • Health Connect → web — Android-synced Health Connect data now reaches the server and renders on the web Wellness page
  • Sharing rework — per-category sharing form, source filter on Meals/Recipes, zxcvbn-backed password-strength policy

Bug fixes: cross-pollinated food images on diary entries, duplicate foods on rapid barcode scans, scheduler crash, Mealie Test button.

Repo: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace Release: https://github.com/TraceApps/nutritrace/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.26

Single docker compose, SQLite, signed APK on the release page.

I created a helper script to export custom foods from MFP and store them in the NutriTrace JSON format, in case you find it helpful. https://gist.github.com/nomad64/87cf935d8373d730383c5a0e98693c94

Nice work, exactly the kind of bridge that makes leaving MFP a lot less painful for self-hosters. Would you be OK with me linking the gist from the NutriTrace README (under Foods & Meals) and from inside the Bulk Food Import modal? Happy to credit it as your script with a link back to the gist.

Either way, thanks for putting it together.

Yeah, feel free to link to it or integrate it into NutriTrace directly. MFP doesn't allow users to export a lot of their data and what they do allow is pretty minimal (ex: food diary doesn't export the food diary, simply a diary of each meal).

I don't plan on supporting it, so it might break whenever MFP decides to update their API. But I am just glad if it helps even one person.
