You can add food to faves plus you can add food manually that barcode doesn’t recognize or is not on the list. Also you can go a day ahead and add recipes or common meals write down the nutrients then add as custom food and name it. Then delete from that day. The 2 complaints I have is that when you are looking for a food it gives you all the fattening, complex recipes and unknown brands before the simple stuff if thy even have it at all For example try looking up Heinz’s or hunts ketchup and particularly high fructose free. The other complaint is that you can’t log by meals so it makes it hard to look at your diary and make sure you logged everything I like how it gives you the nutrients even when you change the amount however the amounts are not a big selection I like how you can email your diary so you can easily adjust if you’re over rather than click each thing. I wonder if the calories are under (not correct) but some spot checking is however when I put the whole day in 4 different apps 2 matched and 2 were about 200 cal more on the other hand I’ve been losing weight

This app is able to record your diet diary and provide info on the 3 Ps and sodium as well as other nutrients and calories. It allows you to record your foods and serving size for each item and provides very useful data. It’s possible to save a list of “favorites” to help enter foods that are eaten frequently. There is a learning curve, but I contacted the KidneyDiet website and I requested some personal tutorial time which was excellent and extremely useful. I learned that there are some bugs in the app, but the KidneyDiet group is working on correcting the bugs. Really glad I found this app!!!

When simply reviewing a Food for nutrition, it is automatically added to the favorite screen under suggestions. Once there it cannot be removed. Additionally, there seems to be a limit on how many foods can be added to that screen.Need the ability to delete foods from the favorite screen that I am not interested in anymore. Additionally, simply looking up a Food to look at its nutritional Content should not automatically be added to that screen without confirming first.Second suggestion when you scan a barcode, it comes up with the nutrition information. Many times it is different than what is on the package.Allow the ability to manually add /delete /update items to the nutrition list so that when they are added to the diary, the daily totals are correct.And one case of food I was scanning came up on the app and said there was zero potassium. however, the package indicated that there was 127 g of potassium in the product. I should be able to go into the app and correct that entry so that I can have a correct calculation for my daily total.

I'm new to managing my diet for kidney disease. This app seems to cover many of the bases, but ...There are many foods that have to be added. That would not lessen the value for me except that it's impossible to use the nutritional values for a single portion (the food values on the back of the package) because there's no way to indicate how many ounces or how many grams account for the values assigned to a serving. This works both ways. For instance, fresh raw eggs values are given for 1 cup. In order to assess my intake I have to know how many eggs make a cup. (It's not a major fraction.) For the other direction, if I'm entering a portion of an unlisted food that is, say, 36 grams, the only weight label I can find is 1 gram. I'm not about to divide all the values on the package by 36 to enter the food in the data base and then multiply the results by 36 when entering the portion eaten into the diary. Please provide a numerical wheel for each measure. (See LoseIt for a good example.)
