Can’t add calories more specific than to the 50.

Great idea for an app! I like the ease and speed with entering info! Very casual and doesn’t make you feel bad about slipping up here and there!

Deducting stars for the method of inputting calories. Instead of typing in numbers, which would be FAR more accurate (especially for people on very low calorie diets), the app currently uses a “wheel” of sorts which only goes in 50-calorie increments.
This also irks me because many people while attempting to lose weight do not track calories accurately. They assume that because something is “healthy” like a vegetable that it must be “negative calories” and therefore not count.
Your app just perpetuates the belief that not every calorie needs to be counted; that people can “guesstimate” calories eaten and still lose weight.
It’s ok though. I’ll just take it with a Diet Coke.

Hi there, no need to be rude. It's a design choice, a fun element. The app's main goal is not to count calories like crazy. That's why you can input items with 0 calories. The app's goal is to create a habit for you to log your meals. And most importantly log your mood. When I was seeing a nutrition doctor, she always asked me to log my meals. I always forgot. She wanted to know what drove me to eat that particular item. For instance, I ate a whole chocolate bar when I was angry or depressed. Hope it makes sense. Thanks for the review though, and for using FoodMood.
