Edibles

Easy, portable and fast nutritional journal.

Edibles is a food journal and calculator for tracking what you eat no matter what food plan you follow. It fully supports WeightWatchers™, Atkins, Calorie Counting, South Beach, or even home-brew hybrid eating plans.

Most diets such as Atkins, WeightWatchers™, etc, track some specific value as part of their daily routine. For Atkins, that value is carbs. For WeightWatchers™, it’s “Points®”. For other diets, it can be calories, sodium, or who knows what. Edibles is fully customizable to any and all of these systems.

Edibles provides a clean, efficient and flexible interface which allows you to track your daily and weekly eating habits and maintains your eating history as long as you choose.

Using Edibles, you configure your eating plan limits and credit for exercise (earned Points, burned calories, etc), then track your food consumption against those limits.

Studies have shown that maintaining a daily food diary actually doubles your weight loss.

So for example, to use Edibles in conjunction with WeightWatchers™, you enter your weekly allowance of Points, your daily allowance of Points, and any Points you have earned from exercise. You then enter the foods you eat, and assign the points values for those foods (To get the point values, you have to be a member of WeightWatchers™). As you log your meals, Edibles automatically deducts your food points from your point allowances.

Edibles allows you to enter your foods into it’s database as you go, so once you have entered your information for a given food, it’s kept in the program so you can reuse it.

Edibles does not contain a pre-populated database of foods, because many users prefer *not* to have to wade through pages and pages of foods they will never use or that don't apply to them. Edibles' easy to use interface allows you to quickly enter the actual food YOU eat with a minimum of fuss.
