Explore Each Feature in Depth
Understanding the full capabilities of our system helps you maximise the benefits for your nutrition journey.
Comprehensive Food Database
Our system contains data for over 10,000 food items, from basic ingredients to pre-packaged meals from major UK supermarkets. Every entry includes complete nutritional information: calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, sodium, sugar, and essential micronutrients. You can search by name, browse by category, or use barcode scanning to instantly add items. The database is continuously updated to reflect new products and popular recipes from different cultures and cuisines.
Pro tip: Save your favourite meals and recipes as custom entries for quick logging throughout the week.
Macronutrient Breakdown & Balance
Understand how your daily intake is distributed among carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Visual pie charts and percentages show whether you're meeting your targets for each macronutrient. Our system allows you to set custom macronutrient ratios based on your goals — whether you prefer balanced nutrition, lower carbohydrate approaches, or higher protein intake. Daily summaries highlight how much you've consumed and how much remains within your targets.

Micronutrient & Hydration Monitoring
Track vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and many others. See whether your food choices provide adequate micronutrient intake for optimal health. A dedicated hydration tracker reminds you to drink water throughout the day and logs your fluid intake. Meeting micronutrient targets is essential for immune function, bone health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing — our system makes this invisible aspect of nutrition visible and actionable.
Insight: Many people meet calorie targets but miss essential vitamins and minerals. Our micronutrient tracking helps you avoid this common nutritional imbalance.
Educational Resources & Guidance
Beyond tracking, our platform provides evidence-based articles explaining nutrition science, balanced eating principles, and how different foods affect your body. Learn about macronutrient functions, why certain micronutrients matter, how to read food labels, and strategies for sustainable nutrition habits. Our editorial team researches current nutrition science to provide accurate, balanced information. Resources are suitable for beginners learning the basics and experienced individuals seeking advanced knowledge.

Getting the Most from Calorie Tracking
These evidence-based strategies help you track effectively and develop sustainable nutrition habits.
Be Consistent with Logging
Track all meals and snacks, even on days when you eat more or less than usual. Consistency reveals real patterns in your eating habits. Skip days create gaps in your data and make it harder to identify trends. Most people find that logging takes just a few minutes per day, especially with practice.
Use Accurate Portions
Estimate portions as carefully as possible or use a kitchen scale for better accuracy. Common portion misjudgements include oils, nuts, and condiments which are calorie-dense. Even small inaccuracies compound over time. The more precise your logging, the more reliable your data and insights become.
Analyse Patterns, Not Just Numbers
Look for patterns over weeks rather than obsessing about daily totals. Notice which foods make you feel energised, which meals satisfy you longest, and when you typically overeat. This awareness allows you to make sustainable changes based on real knowledge of your body and preferences rather than restrictive rules.
Set Realistic Targets
Targets that are too restrictive feel unsustainable and lead to abandoning tracking altogether. Gradual, modest changes are more likely to stick than dramatic overhauls. Work with realistic daily ranges that allow flexibility while moving you towards your goals. Small consistent progress compounds into significant change.
Learn Nutrition Basics
Understanding nutrition science transforms tracking from mindless counting to informed decision-making. Learn why certain nutrients matter, how different foods affect your body, and what "balanced nutrition" actually means. Knowledge empowers you to make choices based on understanding rather than external rules or trends.
Focus on How You Feel
The ultimate measure of good nutrition is how you feel — your energy levels, digestion, mood, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing. Track these alongside your calorie data. Your body's signals are invaluable feedback. If a particular diet makes you feel terrible, no number on a tracker makes it right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is calorie tracking accurate?
Calorie tracking is approximately 80-90% accurate due to variations in food preparation, database errors, and individual metabolism. Use it as a guide, not gospel. Combine it with body composition changes and how you feel.
Can I track just macros without calories?
Yes! Macro tracking often naturally creates a calorie deficit because protein is satiating. However, you can still overeat protein-heavy foods. Many people find macro tracking more sustainable than pure calorie counting.
How long should I track my food?
Start with 2-4 weeks to establish awareness. Many people track for 2-3 months to learn portion sizes, then switch to intuitive eating. Some prefer ongoing tracking; others prefer periodic check-ins every few months.
What if tracking triggers obsessive behavior?
Stop immediately. Tracking is a tool, not a lifestyle requirement. If you experience anxiety, food restriction, or obsessive thoughts, consult a registered dietitian or therapist. Your mental health always comes first.
Should I track on weekends and holidays?
For sustainable results, track 80% of the time and give yourself flexibility 20% of the time. This prevents burnout and maintains a healthy relationship with food. One meal won't derail your progress; consistency over months and years matters.
