Dayhack
How to keep a food diary without counting calories
Write down what you ate, roughly how much, when, and how you felt, then read the week back before changing anything. No numbers are needed. Dayhack is a free journal app built that way: you log foods, quantities, portions and how you feel, and it never estimates calories or gives you a health score.

What to write for each meal
- The foods, in your own words.
- A quantity or a portion: one bowl, two slices, a handful. Precision is optional.
- The time, so patterns like late meals or long gaps show up.
- How you felt before or after: hungry, rushed, satisfied, tired.
Read it after seven days
A diary is useful when you look back at it. After a week, look at how many days have entries, which foods come back, and how your meals line up with your sleep and training. In Dayhack, the free seven-day review gathers meal entries, completed workouts, best recorded sets, sleep and craving ratings in one screen.
Why skip the calories
Some people prefer mindful or intuitive eating to counting. A diary without numbers keeps the habit of noticing without turning each meal into arithmetic. Dayhack shows your own entries and nothing computed on top of them.
