Macros Counter and Tracker vs Shield

Lowering carb, saturated fat, and calorie intake while ensuring a healthy protein and high-fiber intake is a recipe for weight loss and improving visceral fat-related mental and physical health conditions such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, high LDL cholesterol, cardiovascular disease including stroke, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and depression. Set daily calorie, carb, saturated fat, fiber & protein targets based on guidance provided in this app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz). You can change the targets at any time as you wish or as advised by a healthcare provider. 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. Compare the macro content of different foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen. 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 personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome.  Useful lists show calorie, fiber, carb, protein & saturated fat content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists.

The apps that eat your day stay shut until you've earned them back. You pick which apps, and you set the three goals that open them. SET AT LEAST THREE. EARN YOUR APPS. Every morning, set three goals. Anything real: a walk, a chapter of a book, a phone call you've been putting off. Finish all three and the apps you chose open until midnight. Leave them, and the shield stays up. Add daily habits too, and they count towards the day. A BEDTIME FOR YOUR PHONE Pick a sleep window and a wind-down hour, and your apps shut themselves at the time you set. No goals to finish, nothing to decide at 11pm. Free, for everyone. FOCUS BLOCKS Start a timer, say what you're working on, and your apps stay shut until it ends. FRIENDS, NOT A FEED Pick a handle and add a few people. You'll see each other's daily goals, and how many days in a row you've each finished them. You both have to agree before either of you sees anything. No algorithm, no strangers, no feed. AN HONEST WAY OUT Need fifteen minutes rather than quitting cold? Lower the Shield, three times a day, on your own terms. Shield is a commitment device, not a cage. YOUR SCREEN TIME STAYS YOURS Shield runs on Apple's own Screen Time. Your app choices stay private even from us; Apple hands the app an anonymous token, never the names of the apps you picked. History shows you where your time actually went, and none of it leaves your phone. No ads, nothing sold. Shield is free and there are no in-app purchases. An account takes about twenty seconds, and is what keeps your goals and your friends when you change phones. Shield isn't a willpower app. It's a trade: do the things that matter, and earn back wasted time.
