The Meal Tracker plugin is a great alternative to have an efficient and digitized nutritional follow-up for websites under wordrpess.
The design is clear and refined which makes the visual really elegant.
The plugin is compatible with translators such as Loco translator.
The support (Ali) is reactive if needed to solve problems with the plugin.
I recommend it 🙂

This is the second of Yeken plugins that I have used and they are both top class!
Extremely user friendly and carry out all of the functions needed to fit both fields!
Anyone with a website in the fitness or nutrition field installing this plug in is a must! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
