Fibre Counter and Tracker 12+

One-off fee. Free updates. Use barcode or database. No ads. No data collected Supports a healthy gut microbiome diet. Sync with other FLMC apps Share w Apple's Health app

Use this app for a diverse high-fiber diet to ensure a healthy gut microbiome and immune system to prevent inflammation-linked diseases. 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 personalise the database.
The app also provides nutritional information for many of the 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 highlighted in green type and with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are highlighted in a darker green type.
2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are highlighted in gold type and 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 such as preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers — and are likely to have a harmful effect on the gut microbiome are highlighted in red type and with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and their harmful effect on the gut microbiome is linked to inflammation and many diseases including type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease.
