It's easy to eat too much saturated fat, which increases blood LDL cholesterol, the cause of angina, heart attack, and stroke and circulation disorders. Eating too much saturated fat, which is also high in calories, is in addition a cause of obesity, and obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, some cancers, and inflammatory diseases. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), 2020–2025 therefore recommend that saturated fat should provide no more than 10% of calories for everyone over 2 years of age. This app will help you achieve this.
The app will guide you to set your target daily saturated fat intake based on your chosen calorie intake (or the default based on your age and sex) and the percentage of calorie intake you wish to be provided by saturated fat. Both calorie and saturated fat targets can be changed at any time.
Synchronize the app (on the Settings screen) so if you have an app bundle you only need to record your food and beverage intake once and it will be shared with all apps. Record your food and beverage intake using the barcode scanner, speech recognition, by favoriting foods, or by using search function and use the serving sizes provided (mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central) or change to your serving size. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time. You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and saturated fat intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers.
The app is curated and contains 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time using the barcode scanner, dictation, or the keyboard. This means that provided you add your barcoded foods to the app via the "Add food" tab the app can function without access to the Internet (it will need access to the internet and OpenFoodFacts.org if a barcode is not in the app's database).
Synchronize the app with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter and tracker apps to share data.
Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share data with Apple's Health app.
Also useful nutritional information via the Info tab.
The interface is intuitive to navigate, but you may find it useful to familiarise yourself with the full functionality of the app by touching the icons, words, and bars on every screen and swiping left and right on the Tracker screen.
