## What is FOOD?

◉ FOOD: diary is a food diary that provides a shortcut to add nutrients to the Health App. You are what you eat!

◉ FOOD: diary helps you get in shape. 
In as little as 60 seconds per day you can track the full nutrient profile.(35!)

You can combine different recipes by one tap. Such as "Bobby Flay's Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze" or "Avocado Toast with Nori Mix".  Or use an ingredient as a solo. Just an Avocado or an Apple.
All you need is: tap every time you eat it. Whole nutrients (35!) will be added into Health App. 

“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.” 
― H. James Harrington

◉ Works with USDA Food Composition Databases.

Features:
› compose recipes
› organize food by tags
› change weight of a consumed dish with ease (long tap*)
› notifications: when you ate last time (optional*)
› quick statistics of Fats/Carbs/Proteins/Water

### 1/5 — Couldn’t work it

*2021-08-01, version 1.4*

I’m fairly tech savvy and I could figure out how to work this. I spent a few minutes trying to enter a new food but the fields were clunky and I couldn’t figure out how to submit the food. I gave up and will look for something else.

### 3/5 — A lot of glitches

*2019-03-04, version 1.2*

This app is not ready yet, but is a good concept.

I watched the video on how to add ingredients and it is fairly simple. Problems I am experiencing though:
The weights of the food are not taking. I have an Apple that I wrote 320g for that decided it was 90g and it won’t allow me to change it. Every time I click away it reverts to 90g. 

Then it wants to combined weight of what I ate after I put the food in. I’m assuming it is averaging the ingredients as a unit? This app is very confusing, and needs a full user guide.

**Developer response:** Hello! When you add new meal all ingredients in total are 100%(100g). So if in your recipe there are only two ingredients it has to be 50% each. (50g). And then when you are done make a long press and input the weight of portion that you ate.

### 5/5 — love it

*2018-09-13, version 1.2*

Just started using this app. So far, it has everything I need in a quick and easy interface

### 5/5 — it's good

*2018-09-12, version 1.2*

So far This app seems really good at doing what it is supposed to do. No complaints

### 5/5 — fantastic

*2018-09-12, version 1.2*

Very useful app. Does what it says and Simple to use and configure for specific needs.

### 3/5 — Terrible

*2018-08-18, version 1.1*

The creator of this app must be daft. Most people microwave or eat already prepared food. It is almost extinct to actually cook for yourself

**Developer response:** Hello, sincerely! You are be able to use prepared food also, just add as only one ingredient. Voilà!

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2018-06-26, version 1.1*

This app is difficult, I tried to add new food but it’s not allowing me to do that. I just got frustrated with it... I wish I could get a refund for this app that I’m unable to use!! I just want a good easy to use food diary..

**Developer response:** Please, take a quick look on this preview: http://microgram.mimesis.ru/video/NewDish.mov Feel free to contact me: hello@mimesis.ru

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2017-05-29, version 1.0*

I have knew this app since 3 days, it is very convenience. I seen the interface was easy to see and activity. However some mistake appeared with font in app. I think this app should fix it. Thank for this app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. Please tell me a bit more. What exactly you think i have to improve? My email: hello@mimesis.ru

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-04-30, version 1.0*

This app is not intuitive at all. I can't figure out how to add any food to the diary and I am very tech savvy. There is no tutorial, support, or help at all in the app. I can't believe I payed for something so cheaply made there is NOTHING special about this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for review. i will add tips soon.
How to use:
At first you have to add some dishes from your recipes or use as a solo ingredient.
And after just tap every time you eat it.

### 5/5 — This app works great

*2017-02-05, version 1.0*

Just loved the way it helps me create and manage nutrition in a simple way. Used a bunch of similar apps but none compare to this one!
