What does the app do?

Easy Diet Diary is an app that records food consumed by the user and links to food composition software. The primary aim of the app is to monitor energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates and a limited number of micronutrients. Additional features of the app allow weight, exercise monitoring and an option of turning on renal nutrients, which estimates sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorous intake.

This app is best used under the supervision of a dietitian or health professional with access to FoodWorks software (Xyris Ltd). If used in isolation it still has benefit for a knowledgeable consumer with an understanding of appropriate energy requirements and exercise.
