Vegans and vegetarians are prone to zinc deficiency because the best sources of zinc are meat and fish. Use this app to avoid zinc deficiency on a whole food diet, especially if you're on a plant-based diet and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Zinc is crucial for a healthy immune system, wound healing, cell division, growth, and metabolism, and protects against many diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, skin diseases, dementia and Parkinson's disease. Zinc deficiency in pregnancy and childhood impairs growth and development. Deficiency in older adults can impair wound healing and brain and mental health.
Set your target daily zinc intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of zinc content in foods and beverages (ie, mg or %target/serving, mg/100g or mg/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using 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.
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. 
The app provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. All high-zinc foods (ie, contain more than 1.3mg of zinc per serving) appear in purple type.
2. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plant per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome and contain less than 1.3mg of zinc per serving are in green type (with a green leaf icon used to indicate a plant in the food popup). Those that are particularly good prebiotics are in dark green type.
3. Probiotics that contain less than 1.3mg of zinc per serving are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popup.
4. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) and contain less than 1.3mg of zinc per serving are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popup.
5. Foods in black type contain less than 1.3mg of zinc per serving and are neither UPF, plant, prebiotic nor probiotic and are healthy when consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet.
