This app calculates the overall glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) for individual meals and the entire day, to help you build a healthy diet. It provides carbohydrate, calories, protein, fat analysis, and future meal planning for numerous food items. (The free version, however, provides only 38 food items in the database: two per food group. The “full version” has 975 food items and can be purchased from the App Store for $13.99.) Meal planning can be done for the next week, with features such as historical full meal information for future re-use; easy reconstruction of your typical meals; and the ability to modify each favorite for the day. It’s great for diabetics and non-diabetics alike to keep track of their daily food consumption. Users can input their meals on the iPhone or web. Meals are selected from ethnic categories all over the world. It’s unclear in the free version of dishes typical to african-americans and hispanics in the US are available. Users can add their own items with nutrition information.
