Is MFP (My Fitness Pal) the only app that does the math still standing?

A recipe app/software should have the following:

• A large nutritional database for raw foods (meats, veggies, etc.) and packaged foods (the stuff you buy in cans and boxes and bags at the store) Nutribase had the entire US FDA nutrition database and you could add your own. Living Cookbook didn't have the entire FDA DB, but it was extensive.

• Does the math for each recipe - adds the calories and other nutrients then divides by the number of servings.

• Provides a standard nutrition label for each recipe

I don't mean to bash the current crop of recipe apps, but none of them do the real work for the user. I thought computers were supposed to make life easier, not more boring.

    Apps that have food database, recipes and will do calorie math for recipes.

    Lose It! - large food database, barcode scanner, and automatic calorie tracking. Clean interface and easy recipe creation.


    Cronometer - Known for being very accurate and detailed, tracking not just calories but micronutrients too. Great for people who want precise nutritional information.


    Yazio - European-based app with a good food database, recipe feature, and calorie counter. Nice balance of features without being overwhelming.


    Lifesum - Combines recipe ideas with calorie tracking and has a clean, user-friendly design.


    Paprika - More recipe-focused than the others, but it does have nutritional analysis features. Better if you want recipe management first, nutrition tracking second.
