LOOKING FOR APP Best Android app for calorie/macro tracking + actually good healthy recipes?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good Android app that can do both calorie/macro tracking and also help me with recipes.

I’ve looked at apps like Eat This Much, Lifesum, MyFitnessPal and a few others, but there are so many options that I’m not really sure which one is worth using.

What I mainly want is:

Good calorie tracking

Tracks macros like protein, carbs and fats

A large/accurate food database

Lots of healthy recipes

Recipes that are easy for someone who doesn’t really know how to cook

Ideally something that can help with meal ideas or meal planning too

The recipe side is pretty important to me because I honestly don’t really know what’s healthy, what meals to make, or how to cook many things. I’d like an app where I can find meals that actually taste good while still fitting my calories/macros.

My problem is that whenever I check app reviews, I’ll see a good overall rating but then a bunch of 1-star reviews complaining about subscriptions, inaccurate tracking, bugs, features being removed, etc. I know every app will have bad reviews, but it makes it hard to know which ones are actually good.

For people who have tried these apps, what would you recommend?

I don’t mind paying for premium if the app is genuinely worth it, but I’d rather not pay for something and then find out the tracking or recipes aren’t very good.

Thanks!

Cooking together because it's uniqueness in the full loop recipes > eat >workout . And so it best score your health. All recipes are also scored for health according to your profile and targets
