Checkoff Portions Diet Tracker - Visual Group Exchanges

People giving low reviews for this app obviously did not check to see what it’s for and what it does before trying it. This app is exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly. You should already have a meal plan and if it’s based on portions of food groups, all the better. I’m using the Diabetic exchange plan. Those lists tell me how much of a food is a portion, and how many portions Incan have in a day. This app is a quick and easy way to check off what I’ve eaten and see what I have left for the day. I no longer have to do the tedious data entry and go over and o er it to see where I stand for the day. I also love that there’s a motivational icon along with the food groups where I can enter my own mantras and reminders to make sure I read them every day. Remember Richard Simmons’ Deal a Meal? Yeah, like that, but easier, and free.

Stupid App. It worth 2 cents. Big waste of money.

not worth it!

The app is great for tracking the different food pyramid portions eaten. It would be nice if you could press one button and it could tell you a summary of how much food you have left to eat for the day in the different categories. Also combination foods are a challenge to track. I find that I have to use two apps for those foods. I use the other app to look up the nutrition information and then I figure out how many carbs fats and protein those nutrition pieces fit into. For example: - One carbohydrate exchange, equals 15 grams of carbohydrate. - One meat exchange equals 7 grams of protein. - One fat exchange equals 9 grams of fat This info could be added to the search function for looking up information on foods. Thank you for making my health easier to manage

1 portion of protein equals 1 ounce in this app. That means I’d have to track 36 portions of protein every day to account for 6 meals with 6 ounces of protein in each. Same with carbs. Fruit portions are measured in cups for some reason, it would be much easier to track 1 piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, etc.) as one portion. It also gives a one size fits all table of how many portions someone should eat, regardless of activity level. Great concept, poor execution.

The app looks like it would be helpful but once you purchase you quickly see that it’s not intuitive. There’s a lot that can be done to this app including calculations based on height weight activity etc. I’ve seen better apps than this for free. I want my money back, not useful at all!

The app resets itself if you clear your phone carousel cache. Really annoying. Otherwise it would be fine.

This is exactly what I have been looking for! If I could have I would have created this one myself. Quick to use as soon as you set up goals. I don't need calorie count. Similar to the old Weight Watchers, My Plate or Diabetic Diet. I think Richard Simmons had something similar with cards. This is so much simpler. If I could have I would have created this one myself. I wish there was a way for my iPad and iPhone to sync. Also wish I could add a some more custom weekly or daily goals. If you could do that it would be even better. I would like to be able to have separate goals for starchy vegetables and high vitamin C fruit. I would like a goal on how many times a week for beans and perhaps red meat.

I cannot believe I just paid money for this app. A chart on the wall has as much functionality. Would like my money back. No one needs to track portions without calories. Get real.
