Yazio Review 2026
The best app for combining intermittent fasting with nutrition tracking — 16 fasting protocols at the lowest premium price tested.
Integrated intermittent fasting
Yazio is the most capable app for users who practice intermittent fasting alongside nutrition tracking. Its built-in fasting timer supports 16 protocols — more than any competitor — and integrates directly with the food log so calorie and nutrient data is automatically attributed to eating windows. Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2019) and Annual Review of Nutrition (2022) has associated time-restricted eating with improvements in metabolic health markers, making the ability to track fasting and nutrition together meaningfully useful.
European market coverage
Founded in Germany, Yazio has notably strong coverage of European foods that US-centric databases routinely miss. German breads, French cheeses, Italian regional dishes, and Spanish foods are well-represented with accurate nutritional data. For European users frustrated with database gaps in MyFitnessPal, this is a genuine competitive advantage.
Value proposition
At $29.99/year, Yazio is the most affordable premium nutrition app we tested — less than half the price of MyFitnessPal ($79.99) or Noom ($209). For users who primarily want fasting tracking plus basic nutrition data, the value-per-feature ratio is excellent.
Verdict
Yazio is the best choice for users who want to combine intermittent fasting with nutrition tracking, particularly in European markets. At $29.99/year it offers the lowest cost per feature of any premium app tested. Micronutrient depth is limited relative to PlateLens or Cronometer.

Best for intermittent fasting + nutrition — built-in fasting timer
Frequently asked questions
- What intermittent fasting protocols does Yazio support?
- Yazio supports 16 distinct fasting protocols including 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, 5:2, alternate day fasting, extended fasting (24h, 36h, 48h), and custom windows. The built-in fasting timer tracks elapsed fasting and eating windows, sends notifications at window transitions, and logs fasting history alongside nutritional data.
- How does Yazio compare to dedicated fasting apps?
- Yazio combines what you would otherwise need two separate apps to achieve: a nutrition tracker and an intermittent fasting timer. The fasting data integrates directly with the food log, allowing users to see calorie and nutrient intake within eating windows. Standalone fasting apps like Zero or Fastic have better social features but lack the nutritional depth.
- Is Yazio available in European markets?
- Yes. Yazio was founded in Germany and has strong European market coverage — particularly for German, French, Italian, and Spanish regional foods that are underrepresented in US-centric databases. For European users, this regional coverage is a meaningful advantage over MyFitnessPal.
