Comparison of 2 promising nutrition tracker (Macros and Food Tracker)

[SiliasGH]

Hi forketyfork,

first of all, thank you for creating such a fantastic plugin! I’ve been searching for exactly this kind of tool for quite a while, and it only recently clicked for me that, instead of entering my nutrition data into some external, closed system, it’s much smarter — and far more future-proof — to do it right inside Obsidian.

I’ve now come across two excellent plugins (Macros and Food Tracker) and honestly can’t decide which one to start with. That’s why I put together a comparison thread in the Obsidian Forum, where I shared my thoughts on both:

I’d love to hear what you think about my comparison, and I’m also curious about which features you have on your roadmap.

Thanks again for your work — it’s much appreciated!

Best regards,
Silias

Thanks, Silias, your comparison is super helpful and will shape my roadmap. I’m already working on statistics and visualizations, meal timestamps are next.
I’ll post updates in your forum thread. If you spot gaps, please open an issue with an example workflow so I can prioritize.

I wrote in that forum post my take on the two plugins.
