Calorie tracking
Every time you eat, you add the product to the app. For example, for breakfast, you ate an omelet of 2 eggs and drank a cup of coffee with milk. You enter these foods, and FatSecret will automatically calculate how many calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates you have consumed.

Barcode scanning
If you're eating something from a package (such as yogurt or cereal), you can simply scan the barcode on the package, and the app will add the product to your diary.

FatSecret allows you to plan your meals in advance. For example, if you know you'll have chicken and vegetables for dinner, you can add that dish to your plan and see how many calories will be left for other meals.
