Calc: Food & Nutrient Tracker 12+

For the most part it looks like a great program. Lacking access to some nutrient tracking due to lack of knowledge for guidelines. Also disappointed that some nutrients are not offered to track, example chromium , colbalt and threonine. Not sure if I can make this work for my needs with these missing components. Disappointed

Thank you for your feedback!
You can see that a progress bar for some nutrients is grey, it is because we didn't find a daily consumption recommendation for them, but you can set your own just by pressing on it. As soon as you set it, the progress bar will work.
Please, use the "USA SR Legacy" food database (you can enable it in the Filters screen), there are 5080 products which have information about Threonine. Unfortunately we don't have data about Chromium and Cobalt right now in our DBs.
We work hard to make the app design more user friendly.

I was looking for an app that allows me to calculate more than just the basic parameters of my diet. Since I am restricting calories I would like to know if I am incurring any vitamin deficiencies at Cetera. This appears to be difficult to do. This app have the most promise for accomplishing this mission. However it is very cumbersome to use. Foods can only be entered in grams. While this may not be common in the US and common in Europe, for some things it is just inconvenient. For fresh fruits and the like, I don’t necessarily weigh before I eat them. I understand that makes it difficult to calculate exact numbers from the developer standpoint, but that is how we live. The database is also quite cumbersome with a heavy emphasis on cooked and prepared foods. Is nowhere near as easy to use as the Lose It! app that I typically use to monitor my dietary intake. Finally the app output data only in percentages of recommendations, which is not particularly useful to me. Recommended percentages are fine but I would like numbers also because my recommendations and the developers recommendations may be different. I will be deleting this app.

Starting from the 2.13 you can change your recommendation income for any nutrient.
An ability to use imperial units is available from the 2.19 version.

P.S. Starting from the 2.22 version there is no need to weigh food, you can enter it in more understandable food portions such as a small or big apple, they are specified for a concrete food. Additionally, we updated the food search system, now it should be easier to find an appropriate one. All brand food should appear at the bottom of the search list.

Hope, you will return to us :)

If you need to monitor micronutrients like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc., this is the only calorie counter that really does the job! It has a few quirks, like reporting my energy needs as “0.0 Kcal”, and using sneaky tricks to enter 113 grams of banana, but If you want to monitor an alkaline diet, this is the only diet calculator I have found that actually reports the info to calculate a PRAL score. I was delighted to find this app today after trying a very large number of apps that seemed promising, but just didn’t cut it. My kidneys are most grateful!

The main report screen displays nutrient value a % of the recommended daily value that the app calculated from your parameters.
If the app recommend you "0.0 Kcal" is bug, and it will be fixed in one of the next versions
