Version History of Protein Counter and Tracker

2.11.6

July 13, 2024

50 new items added to the app's database so the app now includes 400 foods and drinks color-coded for plants, prebiotics, probiotics and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to support a healthy gut microbiome diet.

2.11.5

June 12, 2024

Twenty new items added to the app's database and revision of color coding of type and icons to support a healthy gut microbiome diet as follows. All plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are highlighted in green type and with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are highlighted in a darker green type. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are highlighted in gold type and with a gold microbe icon in the food popups. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen such as preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers — and are likely to have a harmful effect on the gut microbiome are highlighted in red type and with a red warning triangle in the food popups.

2.11.3

June 2, 2024

Improvements to the "Add Food" screen — toggle the "Values per serving" option for g/100g, g/1oz, or g/serving for protein content; use color codes and icons to highlight added foods as plant, probiotic or ultra-processed (UPF)

2.11.1

May 23, 2024

Color-coded type and icons on food popups in the 330-item database now identify healthy (plant, prebiotic, probiotic) and unhealthy (likely to be ultra-processed) foods (UPFs) to support a healthy gut microbiome diet. A notepad has been added to the record intake screen.

2.10.7

April 2, 2024

Average intake per day for each month is now displayed at the top of "Month view" screens in blue type. Protein intake over 120% of target on any day is now indicated by a red exclamation mark within the daily total ring. Bug fixes and minor revisions to "How to use the app" instructions.

2.10.6

February 16, 2024

Redesigned "barcode scanning" screen and text popup to improve functionality on all devices, including mini iPhones. Revised coding for daily listing of logged foods so foods attributed to different meals, eg breakfast, appear together even if entered at separate times; and the ingredients of recipes logged appear in the popups detailing the contribution of each ingredient to the daily target. New previews and screenshots to highlight the app's features and functionality.

2.10.2

January 8, 2024

All 211 plant-based foods/beverages in the 328-item database provided with the app are now in green type and appear in the "Protein in foods" section, searches, and daily and long-term logs in green type to help users consume the 30+ different types of plant per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome.

2.9.1

November 15, 2023

Improvement to recording intake of the same food on different occasions during a day so each recording will be listed as a separate item identified by the meal and/or time of intake when you overwrite a previous entry if you confirm in the popup it should be a new entry rather than a change to the previous entry.

2.9.0

November 2, 2023

Three new features: 1. Record & track time or meal (eg lunch) when recording food/beverage intake. 2. "How to use the app” instructions are now numbered 1–15 to indicate the steps to take when the app is first installed to become familiar with the app's capabilities; they have also been revised to highlight the need to allow the app access to your iPhone or iPad camera, microphone and speech recognition to scan barcodes and use dictation and speech recognition. 3. Sample recipes can be easily identified and deleted if desired, and a bug has been fixed.

2.8.1

October 3, 2023

Revised "How to use the app" instructions to improve usability. New app icon. Now with correct build (was previously submitted with incorrect build).

Description of Protein Counter and Tracker

Use this app to ensure you eat enough protein if you're on a plant-based, dairy-free or weightloss diet or to increase your protein intake if you're over 40 to prevent age-related muscle wasting (sarcopenia). Effects of protein deficiency include muscle wasting and weakness; osteoporosis; brittle hair, dry skin, and weak nails; poor growth, development and wound healing; susceptibility to infections and illnesses; and depression and anxiety. A high protein intake suppresses hunger & helps in the prevention and management of overweight/obesity. Set your daily protein intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of protein content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, g/100g or g/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner, dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalise the app's 400-item database for you. The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows: 1. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are in green type with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type. 2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popups. 3. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) likely to harm the gut microbiome are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and their harmful effect on the gut microbiome is linked to inflammation and many diseases including type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease.
