What's New in Checkoff Portions Diet Tracker

1.1.6

July 20, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. 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.

Best Portion Tracker

People giving low reviews for this app obviously did not check to see what it’s for and what it does before trying it. This app is exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly. You should already have a meal plan and if it’s based on portions of food groups, all the better. I’m using the Diabetic exchange plan. Those lists tell me how much of a food is a portion, and how many portions Incan have in a day. This app is a quick and easy way to check off what I’ve eaten and see what I have left for the day. I no longer have to do the tedious data entry and go over and o er it to see where I stand for the day. I also love that there’s a motivational icon along with the food groups where I can enter my own mantras and reminders to make sure I read them every day.
Remember Richard Simmons’ Deal a Meal? Yeah, like that, but easier, and free.

Big mistake

Stupid App. It worth 2 cents. Big waste of money.

useless

not worth it!

Diet app is very helpful

The app is great for tracking the different food pyramid portions eaten.
It would be nice if you could press one button and it could tell you a summary of how much food you have left to eat for the day in the different categories.
Also combination foods are a challenge to track. I find that I have to use two apps for those foods. I use the other app to look up the nutrition information and then I figure out how many carbs fats and protein those nutrition pieces fit into. For example:

- One carbohydrate exchange, equals 15 grams of carbohydrate.
- One meat exchange equals 7 grams of protein.
- One fat exchange equals 9 grams of fat

This info could be added to the search function for looking up information on foods.

Thank you for making my health easier to manage

Portion units of measure are all off...

1 portion of protein equals 1 ounce in this app. That means I’d have to track 36 portions of protein every day to account for 6 meals with 6 ounces of protein in each. Same with carbs. Fruit portions are measured in cups for some reason, it would be much easier to track 1 piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, etc.) as one portion. It also gives a one size fits all table of how many portions someone should eat, regardless of activity level. Great concept, poor execution.
