Use this app for a diverse high-fiber diet to ensure a healthy gut microbiome and immune system to protect from many diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, many types of cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases eg Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease. Fiber also improves gut function, lowering the risk of constipation, diverticular disease, and haemorrhoids.
Set your daily fiber intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of fiber content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, g/100g or g/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner, dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronise data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the 400-item database for you.
The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are in green type with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type.
2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popups.
3. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) likely to harm the gut microbiome are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and damage the gut microbiome.

Way too basic and generic

This is am updated review. My husband was recently put on a high fiber diet. This app gives a generic number of fiber based on age and sex. After I couldn’t get the fiber count to set to what my husband’s doctor wanted, the company sent me directions. I as able to change the fiber count. I will still have to add any store bought high fiber foods, but I feel this app will now be usable.The list generated on the app is very basic.

To change the fiber intake to that prescribed by the doctor follow the instructions on the Settings screen - ie, tap on the 'Fiber target' box, which takes you to the 'Your target fiber intake' screen. Tap in the box labelled 'Daily target' and key in the number (of g) on the keyboard that appears.
The app is curated and contains 325+ common (mainly healthy and unprocessed) foods and drinks and the user can add their own branded and other foods and recipes at any time. This means the app is standalone, does not collect any personal data, and does not require access to the Internet.

Difficult at best

I feel that I have wasted my money on this app. It is difficult to navigate even after reading the instructions several times. I have not been able to do what I need to do, which is simply to determine the amount of fiber in foods that I have eaten and to get a total of my daily intake.

The app has been redesigned using new Apple technologies. The foods and amounts you eat can be recorded easily and quickly using the barcode scanner, speech recognition (touch the microphone icon), or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided. The serving sizes are mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central, but can be changed at any time. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time.

Not Impressed

I'm sorry I spent money on this app. It is VERY confusing to navigate. I am unable to locate the button that allows me to add a food. Also, I don't normally measure my food in grams. I am unable to figure out how to choose ounces as my measure unit. There is no "home" button. I'm sure glad I didn't buy the whole bundle!

The app has been redesigned using new Apple technologies. The foods and amounts you eat can be recorded easily and quickly using the barcode scanner, speech recognition (touch the microphone icon), or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided. Use the "Settings" tab to select your preferred units for food amounts — g (metric) or oz (Imperial). Add and edit “branded” and other foods, drinks and recipes not provided in the app by following the instructions on the screens accessed via the “Add food” tab.
