MyFitnessPal in short

The calorie counter most people already know, with exercise logging on the free tier. The downside: barcode scanning, custom macro goals, ad-free use and CSV export are Premium only.

MacroFactor in short

Calorie and macro targets adjust from weekly check-ins, with no ads. The downside: no free tier, and strength logging lives in a separate paid app.

If a game is what you are missing

Neither app has a game layer. We make GYM RPG, which logs the same sets, reps and weight and adds XP, a skill tree and a party boss. It is not a drop-in for either app, because we have no import tool and you would start fresh.
