Show HN: A Simple Nutrition Tracker for iOS

I've tracked my calories and macros off and on for years, and always felt that the existing apps were somewhat bloated and clunky to use.

To scratch my own itch, I built FitBee to make tracking a bit less of a pain in the butt.

A few things that make FitBee stand out:

* Fast and lightweight - It's completely native, (mostly built using SwiftUI) and I've tried to make it as fast to launch/use as possible.

* Accurate nutrition data - The nutrition data is sourced from the USDA dataset and nutrition labels off the packages. I also spent effort adding east asian foods (e.g. things you get at 99 Ranch or Weee) to the database, since those were hard to find/track in other apps I've tried.

* Recipe importing - You can pretty much point any recipe at the app and it'll import the ingredients and generate nutrition information for you. As I got more into fitness, I started to cook more so this has been super helpful.

* Robust Apple Health support - You can sync data with Apple Health. I wear an Apple Watch so it's great for getting the energy burned through exercises.

If you end up trying it, I'd love any feedback!
