BetterMe charges $19.99/month for body composition tracking. FoodIdentifier includes it in Pro — weight, body fat %, lean muscle mass, circumference measurements, and progress photos, all charted over time.
Start Tracking Your Progress — FreeWeight alone is misleading. You can lose fat and gain muscle while the scale barely moves. FoodIdentifier tracks body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and circumference measurements so you see real progress — even when weight stalls.
Track weight and body fat percentage side by side. See whether you're losing fat or just water weight. Smart scales sync automatically.
Waist, hip, chest, arm, and thigh measurements. The waist-to-hip ratio is a stronger predictor of health risk than BMI alone.
Monthly photos in the same pose create a visual timeline. See changes the scale can't show — especially during body recomposition.
No special equipment required. Use any scale and measuring tape. Smart scales sync automatically if you have one.
Step on any scale and enter your weight. Or connect a smart scale via Apple Health for automatic sync. Weekly is ideal.
Use a measuring tape for waist, hip, chest, arm, and thigh. Takes 2 minutes every 2 weeks. FoodIdentifier sends reminders.
Same pose, same lighting, once a month. FoodIdentifier builds a side-by-side timeline automatically.
Visual charts show body fat % declining, muscle mass increasing, and waist shrinking — even when weight barely changes.
Stop obsessing over the scale. These six metrics tell you whether your body is actually changing.
Weekly tracking with trend line that smooths daily fluctuations. See your real direction, not water noise.
The #1 health metric. Track fat loss specifically — not just weight loss. Syncs from smart scales automatically.
Track muscle gain during recomposition. If weight is stable but muscle is up and fat is down, you're winning.
Waist measurement is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than BMI. Track it every 2 weeks.
Automatically calculated. Below 0.9 (men) or 0.85 (women) means low metabolic risk. Track your progress toward it.
Monthly visual timeline. The most motivating metric — see changes the numbers can't capture.
Body composition tracking is a premium feature competitors charge extra for. FoodIdentifier includes it alongside unlimited scanning, meal plans, and AI coaching — all for less than competitors charge for tracking alone.
