Glycemic Index & Load Tracker 12+

I was recently asked to try the GI diet by my neurologist, and had such a hard time with trying to find the GI of foods. This app was recommend to me by someone on reddit and so far has been a LIFESAVER. I just put in my meals and Recipes, and it tells me the GI,GL, and nutrition info of my meal! That being said, there are definitely foods that are missing from this app, even though stuff like shark fin is in there? Definitely interesting. I would one day recommend something like a barcode scanner for it to help find the GI of products/add products that aren’t in the food log (tall order, but would be cool). Overall it’s wonderful though. If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We're so glad to hear that the app is helping you with tracking GI and nutrition. We are already working on adding a barcode scanner feature to make it easier to find the GI of products and add new ones. Thank you for your suggestion and support!

They need to add more commercial foods & other foods. I have had trouble finding foods that match what I’m eating. Also the units that come up for beverages are in g. They should fix their app so that units match the appropriate food or drink for the specific country.
Ex. Pure Leaf Sweet tea (iced) is pretty common in US but there are no selections that come close to matching this. In addition, they have a great option to add your own food however it doesn’t then automatically calculate its GI. I have no idea what that would be so it’s not helpful.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Our app already includes over 10,000 food items, and the database is continuously updated — both based on new research and user requests.

As for automatically calculating the glycemic index (GI) — unfortunately, this cannot be done accurately using a formula or ingredient analysis. GI can only be determined through laboratory testing on human volunteers. That’s why we don’t assign artificial values to foods, as that could be misleading for users.

When adding your own food, you can enter its GI if you know it. This helps you build your personal food list and use it in your daily tracking. If the GI is unknown, you can leave it blank — the food will still be saved.

We’re always open to suggestions: feel free to send us the names of missing products, and we’ll do our best to include them in the next database update!

One of the best apps I have used. All the functions work. There are a number of different ways to sort lists in addition to search. I especially like the ability to change portion size to get GL rather than just 100gm like most lists out there. Thank you for not making me purchase a monthly subscription! I purchased the premium to be able to use all the features, but it is usable in free version if all you need is GI number value and you can still see the color for GL indicating high, medium, or low.

Thank you for your glowing review!

I'm glad that you found value in the premium version and appreciate that we offer both free and premium options. We believe in providing accessible tools for everyone, regardless of their subscription status.

If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're here to help and continuously strive to improve the app for our users.

Thanks again for your support!
