    MacroTrackr is a macro and meal tracking application aimed at people who want a privacy-respecting alternative to hosted nutrition trackers. It supports both a managed service and self-hosted deployment, letting users either sign up on the public site or run the AGPLv3 code on their own infrastructure. The project focuses on everyday logging, macro goals, weight trend tracking, and importing existing history from other nutrition services. For self-hosting, it uses a Bun-based backend, a React/Vite frontend, SQLite storage, and local authentication, with Docker Compose and multiple homelab templates provided for common deployment platforms. The README also describes backup, restore, and upgrade procedures for self-hosted installations.

What to look for in a MacroFactor alternative

- Macro targets: check whether the tool sets protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets, and whether you can edit them. - Weight trend: adaptive targets require a weight log. Confirm that the tool tracks weight over time. - Food data: check where each tool gets nutrition facts, and whether you can add custom foods. - Adaptive targets: most self-hosted tools do not adjust targets automatically. Expect to review your own numbers.
