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’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!

Hi! I love the look and feel of this app in general but there is one big problem which will not allow me to use the app. In the eating logs, each time you complete a log there is a list of possible negative behaviors to select and that list is not editable. This means that I cannot track the negative behaviors that I do engage in, such as negotiating meal plan or switching and repeating foods. It also means that every time I log a meal I have to look at the behaviors I have never engaged in, like purging or laxatives, and I am worried that over time this will lead to my trying those behaviors. PLEASE make this list editable!! Thank you!!!!
