If you are a Fruitarian, Vegan, Vegetarian or following the Atkins diet - is your diet balanced? Use this app to see what you are missing!
Lose weight and be healthy by maintaining a balanced diet! Calorie counter apps help, but do not show you the full picture.
This app can help you plan your daily or weekly meals and help you be healthy. It uses the USDA database with ~8000 food items and ~50 nutrients. The bar graph will show you how your daily (or averaged over a week) nutrient intake compares to the recommended daily values. Just try to maintain all items to be green at the top and you will know that you don't have to take any vitamin or mineral supplements.
Tap on the graph to see the complete list of nutrients (including vitamins, minerals) and how their quantities compare to the recommended daily values. Tap on any of the nutrients to see how the various food items contribute in absolute values and as a percentage.

I think this app (released 10 days ago) is a great start, and with some added features could really become my favorite tracking app, but as it is I couldn't really use it. I like that this app provides information that I feel is really important to have when tracking, like micronutrient data and daily recommended values, but I wish it would present my progress in meeting those DVs as a percentage (it has a column for the amount you've tracked and the DV, but no column saying that I've consumed, say, 80% of my DVs for magnesium) - currently it just lists the values I've entered, and colors it red if it doesn't meet the goal. More importantly, I suppose, it has a toggle to look at Day vs Week, but when I enter food it doesn't give me an option to assign it to a specific day - I can only assume it is assigned to the day it is recorded? (I haven't had this app for more than a day, so I can't be sure.) It would also be handy to have a way to group food items into recipes or meals so that I could reuse them. All in all, it shows promise! And it provides great detail about my nutrient intake! But I need a tool with more functionality regarding meal planning/recording.
