## What is Exchange Diet?

Exchange Diet is the smart nutrition tracker built specifically for people managing their diet (an essential tool for people with diabetes). Based on the trusted Food Exchange System — the gold standard recommended by registered dietitians — Exchange Diet  makes it simple to stay on track every day.

  What is the Food Exchange System?
  The Food Exchange System groups foods by their nutritional profile into 8 categories: Starches, Fruits, Milk, Meat & Substitutes, Fats, Non-Starchy Vegetables, Sweets & Other Carbohydrates, and Combination Foods. By thinking in exchanges rather than counting every calorie, you build sustainable, balanced eating habits that keep blood sugar stable.

  Personalized to You
  Exchange Diet calculates your daily nutrition goals based on your personal profile — height, weight, age, activity level, and whether you want to lose, maintain, or gain weight. Using your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), the app recommends a calorie budget tailored to your body and your goals. Prefer to set your own targets? A fully custom budget mode gives you complete control.

  Track Every Meal with Ease
  Log Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks in seconds. Search from a large food database, scan a barcode, or create your own foods. Each food is mapped to its exchange values automatically, so you always know exactly where you stand against your daily budget — in real time.

  Key Features
  • Food Exchange tracking across all 8 exchange groups
  • Personalized calorie and exchange budget calculator (BMR/TDEE)
  • Custom daily budget option
  • Food database search powered by FatSecret
  • Barcode scanner for packaged foods
  • Add and save your own custom foods
  • Meal logging for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks
  • Daily nutrition summary with exchange totals
  • Clean, simple interface designed for everyday use

  Whether you're newly diagnosed, a long-time diabetes manager, or a caregiver helping a loved one, Exchange Diet gives you the tools to eat well and feel confident about every meal.

  Download Exchange Diet today and take control of your nutrition — one exchange at a time.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-04*

First of all I like the concept of the app however if you are over a certain again the ape doesn’t work.  When you set your profile and it gets to date of birth it stops  at a certain age.  I don’t know what that age is because I’m 70 and it doesn’t work for me.  I can’t get past putting my age in.

It would be a great app but I can’t use it so it is useless to me.
