I thought this would be more user friendly than it is. I'm looking for a way to quickly log my daily glycemic load, and to plan for eating a lower GL diet in general. This app didn't help me at all. Disappointed I paid for it before realizing it wasn't what I was looking for.
Would like it if we could filter the search field to show just single ingredients as most of the brand name mixes are not available in nz and you need to scroll through heaps of these to find what you are actually looking for. Also a number of raw single ingredients aren't in the database which can make it frustrating when trying to get an accurate result. Good start though
Best found could use more explanation on what is being tracked. Would like to review past week. So far can only see today. Would like to see more listings for raw and uncured. Maybe a calculator section for unlisted items.
Just found out I am diabetic and this is chock full of helpful information for meal planning
Tidy app, can use it to find GL for genetic items, but not efficient for day to day use- emailed suggestions to the devs
I love this.
There are several items in this app I found to be alkaline and it reports it as acidic. I get better guidelines cooking from Natasha Corrett's books.
I like the app though more steps are involved for non-metric users (referring to another nutrition app and the internet to figure out how many ounces an item is that's not generally measured in ounces). When I created a profile using the metric setting, I still had to use another nutrition app that listed both the serving size I'm familiar with (in the US) and the corresponding gram amount. I'm sure it's much easier for someone who uses the metric system regularly.
