I don't know if you use reddit as channel so far, but there's a lot of stuff. Just think about the relevant keywords. In your case for example "food tracking app". You can get rss feeds of search queries and automate it from there.
If I search for food tracking app there's many posts, where you could totally mention your app. It works well for my app. You can engage via dm with people there and ask for user interviews for x months premium for free for example, if you want more feedback.
But it's good to check the rules of each reddit and provide a helpful answer containing the link and not just the link.
Have you checked for other forums and communities, which do food tracking? E.g. people working as nutritionist, sports, fasting, ... I wouldn't be surprised if people discuss these apps and their frustrations online. You could then simply reply, but also learn from it. This tactic is mentioned in different IH podcasts.
Your product looks amazing and I think there's much more potential, if you do more marketing.

This is some truth.
I've heard similar stories from friends in the mobile dev scene.
