Apple to GNU/Linux Journal: Food and exercise tracking with LibreOffice Calc

Transitioning my health tracking from proprietary apps on Apple devices to Free Software on GNU+Linux has proven fairly easy. The result is a simple spreadsheet that is private, future-proof, easy to update and back-up.

@carmenlisandrette Thanks but no, that's not a solution as it appears to just be another proprietary diet tracking app which there are plenty of.

The whole point of my post is to move away from proprietary apps running on Apple hardware to a solution based on free, libre software running on a free, libre operating system that respects users.

The spreadsheet solution I'm using works great in LibreOffice Calc which is free/libre software and enables me to do the task well.
