Lasta alternative — real calorie tracking, not just fasting
Lasta is built around intermittent fasting and wellness coaching. Swoodie covers the food side it doesn't — real tracking, recipes and planning.
The bottom line
Lasta is a wellness-and-fasting coaching app — fasting timers, mood tracking, AI coach chat, women-focused habit content. Swoodie is the kitchen + tracker — 8,000+ recipes, Chef AI, meal planner, Swipe Together, plus a v1.4 fasting tracker with Fast Together, where you follow a partner's fast live. They overlap on the fasting timer; they diverge on everything else.
Lasta is a polished wellness app — fasting timers, a mood tracker, an AI coach chat and women-focused habit content. For a fasting-led routine it's a thoughtful fit.
Swoodie is a kitchen app that also fasts. The 8,000+ recipe library, Chef AI, meal planner and Swipe Together for couples are the core — and v1.4 added a fasting tracker too: six protocols (12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, OMAD, custom), live eating-window timer, fasting history. The tracker is free; the Coach quips that nudge you mid-window and Fast Together (pair up and follow a partner's fast live) are Premium. So pair Lasta and Swoodie if you want both — or use Swoodie alone if a polished fasting timer plus the full kitchen is enough.

Where Lasta wins
Lasta is a polished intermittent-fasting and wellness app — fasting timers, a mood tracker, an AI coach chat and women-focused habit content. For a fasting-led wellness routine it's a thoughtful fit, and many people pair it with a dedicated food tracker. Lasta's strength is the wellness-coaching conversation; Swoodie's v1.4 fasting tracker doesn't replace that coaching layer, it just means the fasting timer itself isn't a reason to leave Swoodie for a second app.
