Brighter Bite - ED Recovery 12+

What I was searching for:
1. Food log without calorie tracking
2. A way to make notes in the food log so I know how I felt about my food choices and how they affect me
3. Something to signal when I’m practicing my ED so I can see in a timeline what may have led to the behavior
4. An easy to view timeline

It looked like it was back to carrying pen and paper to do this, and we all know how well that’d go over in the age of smartphones!

This app covers all four and more! I love the gentle reminder to make note of the behaviors I’m choosing to change in order to be healthy, and that I don’t have to remember to note how I felt at the time. A gentle reminder to be honest about the choices I made (good and bad) has made it so I don’t just remember the bad choices, and I get to be proud of myself when I’m doing well!

Then there’s the mood diary so I can keep track of how things are going even when I’m not making note of a meal or snack. Again, it has all the prompts I need to make sure I can go back and review my entries and have a real overview of how things are going.

Finally, I can view my whole time line in chronological order, and even do a search for a specific date range.

I’m so excited to have found this app!!

I love that I can enter my thoughts and feelings whenever I need and it plays calming music and provides a positive thought and inspiration. I woke up today with obsessive food thoughts and began to get frustrated and remembered that I have this outlet so I came here. I also love that I can do the food diary at any time. Obviously- with an ED we don’t necessarily make the best decisions so when the feelings catch up this is an outlet or at the end of a good day we can input our choices and give ourselves a pat on the back. I recommend you give it a try. It is free. After using it I went to look to pay for any premium features and it seems all the features are free. Thank you to the developers!

I’m in recovery for an ED and I’ve been looking for an app to log meals without calorie tracking. I’ve tried a few others that ended up being too clinical and took too long to log meals, or too simple and I couldn’t easily see the history. So far, I love this app because I can easily see my meal logs, track thoughts and feelings, and the chat feature is really gentle and helpful. There’s also an option to take a photo of your plate which I will probably do instead of entering each item. Thank you for this app!
