Eat the Rainbow Food Journal 4+

Eating Healthier

Since using this app, I’m definitely more aware of how many fruits & veggies I’m eating each day & I have been making more of an effort to eat healthier. It’s kind of fun “earning rainbows.” I think there could be a better explanation of how the Favorites button works. I tried it once to add a few items to the favorites list, but then every single item I added that day went onto the Favorites & every time I add something new to a day, it now ends up on my Favorites list even though I technically didn’t add it as such. Also, being able to delete items from both the Favorites list & daily list would be nice for when I tapped on the wrong item by mistake.

Incredible app! (Just a few suggestions!)

As a nutritionist myself, this app is truly a gift. Finally a food tracker that doesn’t depend on counting calories or macros. Color is a joy to keep track of, and inspiring even. I love how the app also includes targets for variety (10 or 15 different plant foods per day and 30 or 45 per week), though those don’t seem to work on every device (it shows the days totals 10/0 instead of 10/10 or 10/15)

I only wish foods could be added custom. For instance I had purple kohlrabi, but kohlrabi is only available under the tan category. There are also many ethnic foods not available - like sorrel, burdock, mizuna just to name a few.

Look up Dr. Deanna Minich for a wealth of resources on the rainbow diet, for free on her website.

So far, very good!

I’ve been using this app for about three weeks. It’s easy to use, colorful and fun. I like the dashboard and the categories pie chart. The daily bar graphs clearly show that I need to eat more yellow foods! I appreciate that you can add foods to previous days if you forgot some. I have mixed feelings about the lack of any information on how much counts as a serving; I kind of like that it’s left to me to decide if I’ve had enough to enter a color, but I might be giving myself credit when I haven’t really had a full “serving.” Still, it’s motivating to see the colors add up so I want to earn that rainbow. Thanks for your work!
