App Detail » Checkoff Portions Diet Tracker - Visual Group Exchanges

What's New

Added food and calorie database search: Although the app focuses on food group portions and fulfilling your goals, a free-form keyword search has been added to display calories. The data content is accessed from the USDA nutritional database (source information is provided in the app). If large numbers of searches are performed, the database may be inaccessible temporary based on the supplier usage policy. For best results use keywords such as "Apple, raw". IMPORTANT: Use the Slider on the right to swipe and release to scan your results. The database panel will show when you tap on the Scale Icon. Additionally, you can tap the large icon on the top-left for any food group to display the database panel.
