Brighter Bite - ED Recovery

I’ve been in recovery for a while it is difficult. I downloaded this app to help coping, it slightly helped. But I did an assessment test where I put in my weight and height, and how I felt about my body and how that effected me. (a lot) But it tells me I’m fine and i’m taking good care of myself because I am a healthy weight. I put in all the same answers and changed my weight to be a bit less and it tells me I may have anorexia. I have anorexia whether or not my body is this weight or that. I found it really triggering. Seeing as I have worked so hard to get to a healthy weight. But I still struggle so much with the thoughts. But this made me feel as though my struggle isn’t valid. Because apparently anorexia is only when you are under a certain weight.

I like it but the animation of swiping between screens and through the logs/adding logs is kinda choppy at times which ruins the smooth feel for me. I have a 14pro max so I don’t think it’s because of the phone I’m using. Other than that, everything’s good. Maybe a tab for “Why did I eat this/how did it make me feel” would be nice.

I love this app!! So helpful and easy to use!!!

Has been extremely helpful to me in tracking my food, triggers, feelings around food and other things. Very intuitive and easy to use app that works well and gives you flexibility as to how you use it.

This has been a great help on my road to recovery. However I’ve run into an issue, where my progress hasn’t been tracked since February 17. Today is March 17 and I’m worried my progress isn’t being shown. I don’t know if this is an issue on just my end but I would love to see my progress going forward.

I love tracking on this app! I have not found any other food logging apps where there is no calorie counting without it being 5 minutes to log all the details around a meal. My favorite part is the easy to read data sheet you can export for any time period. This is the only way I have been able to consistently log in with a neutral mindset and send the data to my providers.

i love this app but it keeps crashing !!

absolutely love this app and i’ve made it a habit to use it everyday. it helps me to realize what i’m putting into my body - from it being healthy to the portion i served myself. the exercises are amazing and remind me of certain DBT skills. BUT! the app crashes and closes every time i try to view the diary tab so i am unable to actually look back on my previous meals. please fix so i can continue using this everyday.

Love love love this app. It’s perfect! Just two things would make it even better -allow an option so photos can appear in the export. I share these with my therapist and it would be super helpful if that were on the pdf -allow the ability to edit the time on a past entry. It’s the only thing that isn’t editable. Sometimes I miss the time field (it’s fairly hidden in the UI) and I want to go back to revise, but I have to re enter everything all over again to change the time. Again thanks so much for this wonderful app!

I love that I can enter my thoughts and feelings whenever I need and it plays calming music and provides a positive thought and inspiration. I woke up today with obsessive food thoughts and began to get frustrated and remembered that I have this outlet so I came here. I also love that I can do the food diary at any time. Obviously- with an ED we don’t necessarily make the best decisions so when the feelings catch up this is an outlet or at the end of a good day we can input our choices and give ourselves a pat on the back. I recommend you give it a try. It is free. After using it I went to look to pay for any premium features and it seems all the features are free. Thank you to the developers!
