About My Food Coach

Living with diabetes, hypertension or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) doesn't have to mean missing out on the foods you and your family enjoy. Finding foods that taste great and are appropriate for any number of health conditions, especially for those on dialysis, can be a real challenge. And if you are at risk for CKD, you will want to be especially careful in selecting foods that support your dietary well-being and a healthy lifestyle.

Staying up to date on the latest kidney health news, local health events, and educational programs from the NKF can help you manage your health and be certain that your family members get the best treatment and information they need too.

With the NKF mobile app you create your own personalized health profile that helps you:
-Find great food that meets your unique, personal dietary needs
- Explore a host of recipes that are hypertension, diabetes, kidney and even osteoporosis friendly!
- Trying to lose a few pounds or keep them off? Our app will help you with that too!
- See how nearby restaurant dishes match your unique dietary guidelines and goals
- Shop for packaged foods that are right for you
- Build your library of personal food favorites

A special feature lets you connect to your Registered Dietitian and get the personalized support and recommendations you need to stay on course with your nutrition challenges.

Your NKF App is loaded with educational tips, breaking health news, local health-related programs and allows you to keep up to date on community health screenings and events.

Your account will let you enjoy the full benefits of NKF's online Kidney Kitchen as well, where you can search for, create and share recipes that meet the needs of your whole family. You'll be able to find them back in this app, add items to your shopping list at the grocery store, and save them to your Favorites list. That means you can easily discover healthy eating options on the go, in the grocery store, and in your home.

Needs a disclaimer that not all foods list their potassium and phosphorus. It could cause a patient to think they are consuming less than they actually are. After Trying it I chose not to recommend it because I thought it could be dangerously misleading. Davita does have disclaimer when potassium or phos not listed for a food

On the grocery items, almost all were frozen products. Those are usually loaded with sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. All are horrible for dialysis patients. Please get a dietician​ to give us tips on the best protein products etc.

Requires an account. Therefore, I'm out. So tired of everyone wanting me to get an account with them for something that in no way requires such a thing. You just want to track my data.

Calendar to set your birthdate is beyond fruatrating having to scroll back 1 month at a time through all the years back to yours. Then i finally get the account created and try a restaurant search and it will only allow US zip codes. Uninstalled at this point. App is useless unless youre american.

DELETED THIS, USELESS, UNUSABLE, BAD PROGRAMMING. This could be a great app - except the only way to sign in is to enter a birth date - and the only way to enter a birth date is to scroll back thru a DIGITAL calendar from today's date in 2017. I am 60, born in January - this means I have to scroll or click thru ***SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE*** YES ---- 729 --- SCREENS in order to enter my birth date. OVER 7 HUNDRED SCREENS - JUST TO ENTER A BIRTH DATE?? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL DISABLED PEOPLE??? And you have to be 21 to use the app, so you can't bypass this BADLY DESIGNED QUESTION or enter todays date! Further, it easily loses & blanks out the date - so you have to start all over again from 2017????!! Terrible! I am a UID & Programmer - and very smartphone savvy - and I could not get this calendar entry to work as provided! Why not just have a choice to manually enter birth dates - like REAL applications have? How much did you pay your developer to develop this app??, Have them fix this - it is UNUSABLE for a normal person, let alone TORTURE for a disabled or senior! FOR SHAME!!! FIX THIS!!! AN EMBARASSMENT - IS THIS WHAT YOU USE DONORS MONEY FOR??? DO YOU NOT BETA TEST?

Fix your calendar who has time to scroll back through years one click at a time before you can even use the app!. un-installed

Nice app. Setup was simple and suggested foods Are right inline with my needs as an esrd patient. Remember that no food is perfect. To set a year, tap the current year at the very top of the calendar window and scroll to the year you want entered.

i put in the registration that the diet was for ckd level 4 with high potassium and many of the recipes contain food items to be known for having high potassium.

V70%
by V####:

Was really excited about finding this app to help with menu planning but after reviewing some of the recipes I was very disappointed to see how many recipes contain foods that are prohibited or discouraged by EVERY kidney disease organization I have reviewed. Someone really needs to review these recipes.

I like the app but I would like to be able to access my meal plan and get an overview of the daily nutrition from my meal plan.

I recently, delt with kidney stones. I have to change my diet, saw this app and thought it would help. But i was a bit disappointed to find that an app from the Kidney Foundation didn't have anything about kidney stones diets, where your website does. I've deleted it, because its of no use to me. I don't have kidney disease, i just have the stones.

After hitting the left arrow button over 700 times (not an exaggeration ) to get my birthdate, this app is not user friendly.

D70%

Seems like a good app but it doesn't appear to have any functionality for people prone to calcium oxalate stones.

Great resource for all stages of kidney disease. Would be a 5 if the resources were current. The articles are from 2013 & 2014. I would gladly recommend an updated version of this to my groups.

Not addressed

The recipes provided have ingredients that no patient on dialysis should ever eat.... If I didn't know any better, this app could could do a lot of damage! Educate yourself regarding proper nutrition, DO NOT rely on apps that could dangerously misinform you..... Do not download this app if you are serious about your health!
