While there are many calorie tracking and macro tracking applications on the market, none offered exactly
the features that I was looking for. For this reason I began working on a basic food diary program which I
aptly call "Food Diary".
Food Diary uses the USDA nutrition values as it's base. It also has the ability to combine multiple food's
into a recipe. These recipes can be logged as food entries or used as ingredients themselves.
Food Diary only provides a running total of your nutrients for the day. There is no visible "target
calories" value and there is no "remaining calories" value.
Food Diary does not pretend to be a weight loss system; but is, as the name suggests, a digital food diary.
I would like to work this in with my MenuMaker application so I can easily log what I plan for the week.
With animal obesiety on the rise, and seeing my own dog gain five pounds, I've decided to add a portion on
to the food diary to track animal calories. As with the original Food Diary, this is not intended as a weight loss
program but a way to be more aware of how much a pet is really eating from food, biscuits, treats, and chews.
