Wallet-Sized Induction Chart & iPhone app?

[atkinsgal08]

I have Carb Finder ... which is good if you're wanting to look something up at the store.

I also have Aces Weight and Fitness Tracker ... which I use primarily for BP and tracking walking and biking. It does do weight, too ... and can track Blood Sugar.

I have a free app Weight Trends.

There's Carb Tracker ... but I didn't think it would do anything for me that Carb Finder wouldn't ... and I already owned Carb Finder!

I guess at this point of my Atkins journey, I'm not interested in tracking food in a handheld ... I could write things down and enter it into Fitday when I got home.

When I had a PalmPilot, I did like having the USDA database on it ... and Carb Finder is also the USDA database, so I'm pretty set with what I need.

What decisions were you expecting the app to help you with?

Hmm... see, I want to avoid having things spread all over.

I guess what I want is:

*An app with USDA database in it, to which you can also add your own brand name foods, using the information on the nutrition label.
*After looking them up once, you should be able to very quickly add foods that you often eat and have the nutritional components added to your daily tally.
*The same should be true for meals and recipes; after registering the recipe once, it should automatically add up the nutritional value of all ingredients and be accessible after that at the touch of a button (the frequent foods list should be on a scroll week or something.
*You should be able to set daily limits or weekly average limites.
*Water consumption should be included and counted.
*You should be able to enter a goal weight and a current weight, and track it over time in both chart and graph format. Measurements too!
*It would be great if you could upload pictures of yourself from your iphone and make a weightloss slidehow... though that would require a lot of data.
*A menstruation calendar would be great...
*Finally, there should be a button you can press to generate an XML file and email it to the e-mail address you specify, so that you can easily convert it to excel or whatever else without having to retype all the data.

Basically, there would be a screen for daily tally, a screen for setting goals and limits, a screen for history/tracking
The main purpose of this for me would be to help me be mindful of what I am doing with food each day. I can be a little ADD sometimes.

>>*An app with USDA database in it, to which you can also add your own brand name foods, using the information on the nutrition label.>>

Carb Finder does that.

My advice to you though is to not believe the nutritional label ... even if it's a "brand name" ... since labels are not as accurate as the USDA database ... labels "round".

>>*After looking them up once, you should be able to very quickly add foods that you often eat and have the nutritional components added to your daily tally.>>

I believe Carb Finder does that ... it has something called "plate".

>>meals and recipes>>

Don't know about "recipes" ... I would use Fitday for that.

>>A menstruation calendar would be great...>>

I'm sure you know there's many an app for that.

>>Water consumption should be included and counted.>>

That was a feature in the other Carb app I mentioned above ... and is probably in many others, too.

>>Finally, there should be a button you can press to generate an XML file and email it to the e-mail address you specify, so that you can easily convert it to excel or whatever else without having to retype all the data.>>

The Weight and Exercise app I mentioned above does that for it's data.

I wish you well on creating or finding an app that does everything you want!

I hope not having this app right now doesn't keep you from being successful with your goals!

Remember ... those things are just tools!
