I'm asking for a friend, since I also am interested.

"Speaking of food tracking, anyone know of anything simple that will let me do that. Used to have one but they all turned into sub fees and pushing upgrades and meal plans and crap

I just want to be able to select an apple or compile ingredients totals into a sandwich recipe I don't need to pay $8 a month for that"

I might as well look for FOSS ones

The base problem will always remain: where does the app get the infos? You'll need a vast database of items, or access to one. Unless you want to enter each item yourself, but then it's basically a spreadsheet.

Any calorie tracker is basically a spreadsheet though. It's just packaged in a nicer UI, and you get to skip a lot of setup. Manually entering new foods is probably the least fussy part.
