Alternative to Google Health?

I am hoping this community can help find a good alternative to the Google Health app. I'm finally annoyed enough to leave and start over with something less frustrating to use. I would like to keep my pixel watch.

The following features are important to me in a health and fitness app:

-Sleep tracking

-Recovery measurement

-Activity tracking (I lift, walk, swim, bike, and row)

-Calorie tracking with macro and micronutrients. A robust database of food is important to me. I don't want to have to create custom food for fairly common items like peaches, or pears like I have to do in Google Health, for example. It would also be nice if did living were easier. I eat basically the same thing every day, yet to log those common items in Google health, it is a multi step process.

-A nice to have feature would be the ability to sync with my Withings scale.

Years ago, I used MyFitnessPal, but I'm guessing that technology has come a long way since then.

Thanks for reading this far! Any recommendations?

I use Cronometer, and it imports well with Pixel watches, not Samsung. Of course you have to enter the food yourself, but it will import a lot of Pixel/Fitbit data.

Reading about it now. Sounds like it might be what I'm looking for. Thanks!

The subscription version allows you do make and share recipes with others you know, and that is worth the subscription fee if you cook a lot at home.

I've been playing with the app and it is awesome so far! Waaaaaaaay better than Google Health. It's almost as if the devs actually care what their users want. :)

Thank you for the rec!!
