Bare Bones Diet Counter - Lite

Wanted way to just track carbs and not "net carbs". I think I have found exactly what I wanted. It is taking some time to enter all my favorites but looking up data is a good reality check. Once I get my usual favorites entered, daily entry will be quick and keep me honest. Ultimate goal is to keep between 50 to 150 a day. Like the history feature too.

Nice but it's kinda slow

Something simple and to the point. I already have good quality (free) apps for nutritional data lookup, barcode scanning, pantry/cookbook inventory, etc; so I've little desire for kitchen-sink paid app that integrates these features (usually poorly). I also find that actually having to enter these details manually makes me more mindful of exactly what I'm eating. Granted, if my eating style was 5 - 8 high carb mini-meals a day instead of 1 or 2 low carb meals with intermittent fasting, manual entry would get tiring. So perhaps a simple memory of saved favourites/meals could be handy? I'm giving 4 stars because a feature to export the database to CSV is missing. With that feature I can transfer my portable eating statistics to more sophisticated desktop tools; avoiding feature bloat on my poor little android phone (it needs a diet too! poor thing). As it stands I'll copy across the db backup file to a desktop sqlite database browser.

It has what I need-a way to manually enter and track calories. I would give five stars if there was a way to label "other" entries, as I also track fruit/veggie and protein intake. But it's a great little app that does what i need it to and doesn't eat up memory or make me look up all my food online...as if I'm too dumb to read a nutrition label.

Doesn't automatically figure carbs & cals . It is manually entered. Just not enough for me.

Not much to this app.

Needs to allow you to add missed days. Would be nice if it linked to uses database.

The simplicity in this app is what I'm looking. Often apps with data already entered for items is incorrect, which is not a biggy for dieting but for diabetes can cause problems. I'd rather create my own little database of foods I eat and have reliable data. However, for it to be really useful for diabetics it needs to have the ability to separate foods into meals. Therefore I can see the carb content of each meal instead for the whole day.
