One-off fee. Free updates. No ads/subscription/registration. Scan barcode. Sync w FLMC apps. Share w Apple Health Color-coded high sat fat, prebiotic, probiotic, UPF food Saturated fat increases LDL "bad" cholesterol and is a cause of many inflammatory diseases through its effect on the immune system. Use this app to lower intake to protect from atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), some cancers (esp. bowel, breast, prostate), depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Set your daily saturated fat intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of saturated fat content in foods and beverages (ie, g/serving, %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, synchronize 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 personalise the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome. The app provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons.

Just what I was looking

A lot of skill and knowledge has gone into creating this app. Unfortunately I have severe coronary artery disease and so it’s imperative that I track my saturated fat intake which is quite low. This is a really valuable app for me. It’s well thought out and for anyone that will take a few minutes to review the appand set up the data. It will make their lives easier and healthier. Thank you to the developers. Nothing else like that out there.

This is exactly what I've needed. I have been trying to keep track of my daily saturated fat intake for 8 months and my friend suggested I try an app. Here's what I love about it:-- There are suggestions, but I can set my own goal preferences and have a visual of my daily sat-fat intake! -- I can look at my overall progress for the month with a very easy visual representation.-- I can scan foods from the barcodes for super fast/easy tracking-- I can search or save favorite food items from a large list of food options that don't have barcodes-- I CAN LINK THIS TO MY HEALTH APP through Apple if I choose to in order to include the cholesterol/diet component in my overall picture of my health progress!

I was trying to increase my saturated fat and reduce my polyunsaturated fat, but this app doesn’t seem to record fats the way I need for this purpose.

Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. We will be publishing a polyunsaturated fat counter in the next couple of weeks. We previously published a fat counter that included saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, but we discontinued it because users found it too complicated.

Four months in, I like the app and have suggestions

Overall this has been very helpful in tracking my saturated fat intake. I've been using it for more than four months and I like it. There are some things that could be improved, though.For example, there is no calorie tracker. You have to pay for a second app that they say integrates into this app. I chose not to buy another app.Another needed improvement relates to the process of adding a new food to the database. Why do we have to say how many ounces per portion/slice/whatever?? It is required to proceed but I don't use it or like it and I just type in nonsense so thst I can proceed. I don't want to have to figure out the oz per serving. It's an obstacle more than anything.Also, I would like to be able to edit previous days. Like if I ate something yesterday but forgot to log it, let me edit yesterday's log, please. This is needed for long-term logging. At the moment, I can look back at previous logs but cannot add to them.I would also like to see improved consistency in the food listings. We have "yellow corn tortillas" but "bread, white." (Why not "corn tortillas, yellow"?) Another example is "skim milk" vs. "milk, whole." Search is slowed down by these inconsistencies.My biggest issue is that when you are adding a food to your database, the app asks you to put in the amount of saturated per ounce. In the United States at least, food labels do not give you the info per ounce. Our food labels list that information per serving. This discrepancy is a real annoyance.This is a good app and I use it every day, and I'm providing suggestions so that the developers can continue to improve it.
