Our consumer app empowers millions of users to lose weight, while our professional-grade Platform API serves as the nutritional backbone for global tech giants. This ensures that whether a user is tracking a meal in Melbourne or a developer is building a health app in San Francisco, they are accessing the most accurate, localized and comprehensive data available.

Users and businesses choose fatsecret for its uncompromising transparency and accessibility. For Consumers: We offer a completely free, high-quality core weight loss experience including a barcode scanner, comprehensive macro tracking and an engaged community - without the aggressive paywalls common in the industry. For Developers: We provide a "no lock-in" contract and a white-label API that is arguably the most flexible and easy to integrate in the market. Choosing fatsecret means choosing a partner that prioritizes data accuracy and user success over short-term monetization.

Founded in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia, fatsecret began with a simple mission: to empower people to achieve their ideal weight through individualized and sustainable nutrition. Over the last ~20 years, we have evolved from a social network for dieting into the world’s leading provider of verified food and nutrition data to the leading consumer weight loss solution, now even expanding into medically supported weight loss through the fatsecret Clinic.
