DietController at Mac App Store analyse

It’s great for tracking meals, I like the lay-out and find it easy to use. My one quibble is the food database. I’ve found some wildly inaccurate nutritional data in there. If something looks fishy, it probably is. It’s easy enough to create a new item with the correct nutritional information, so this isn’t a big problem. I’d recommend it for the price.

This app is FANTASTIC! really versatile and probably as useful for the beginner dieter as the hardened dieter that I am! After all those years of looking up calories in books and guessing how many calories Id burn not only does this app do all that for you - you no longer have to have all that in your head. It lets you plan your meals ahead of time. Lets you know if theres any calories left for a little treat. I think this is the software I have been waiting for all my life! You can pump in the ingredients of your favourite recipe, calculate how many calories per portion and even save it as a favourite. Best of all, for the seasoned dieter and people who like to keep track of exactly what youre eating the nutrients log lets you know what vitamins, minerals fats (saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated) protein etc you consumed. There are graphs and pie charts agogo and the journals not bad either, oh yes and you can print reports. Its all here everything you need to control your eating and your lifestyle - all you have to do is keep pumping in the information. The database is very complete (although american) but you get to put your own foods in if you cant find it in the database, or even adapt an existing one - and you dont need an internet connection. Finally Ive got the tool I needed to help me control my eating!

I’ve been a user of DietController for many years, back when it was still a multiplatform, Java-based app. I’ve liked this app for its rather easy-to-grasp interface and the ease with which one could add or modify existing products, in my case in order to adapt the database to European products (the entire included database is based on American products, so very little use here). Now, I’ve noticed a very annoying problem: either the product is dead and development has stopped, or there is something dramatic in the pipes. Either way, my last two requests for support have been completely ignored by Margaret Dangerfield. To the point that I didn’t even receive an acknowlegement for my messages, contrary to what is stated at the website. Also the latest update here dates back from the beginning of 2013, so 2 whole years without an update… Okey, things happen and well, a dead product is a dead product. Yet, somebody’s still taking the money, so there is someone at the other end of this pipe. My real question though is: how future-proof is this soft at this point? I can testify that it works on the current public beta (ß6) of El Capitan, but it’s difficult to say if it will in the Golden Master, or in the next update. As a result, my advice is: stand clear of a product that might not work in a couple of months.

very hard to use and doesnt tell you the calories on anything, You have to look them up yourself which is extreamly time cunsouming, Worst money ever spent! total regret

I got this because it was the only calorie counter that I could find that also tracked exercise and had a journal as well. I agree with the other user that it is hard to use. Just about every food has to be entered manually- same with exercise. The journal entries are not indexed, so if you wanted to find an entry from, say a year ago but don’t know the exact date you would have to look at every month’s entry to find it. When you open the application it doesn’t go to the current date, it goes to the date you last opened the application and there is nothing in the preferences to change it.

Like it is with any aspect of your life, it is up to YOU to take control over the changes you want to make. Try the trial, and be honest with yourself about what youre eating. This program made it VERY easy to monitor all the things I have been consuming. I found out my poor eating habits, and that was half the battle. - You may have to input some nutritional information BUT the majority of foods are already in there for you / it SAVES food / the internet can help look up N.I. - Effective, fast-responding customer support (within 24 hours) - For ~5 bucks this program is a steal BOTTOM LINE: Youll probably spend more money in the form of your personal time looking for a better program.

Permets de bien de suivre notre évolution mais il est vrai qu’une bonne partie de la liste d’aliments est from U.S.A. On peut quand même ajouter les produits que l’on consomme et entrer soi-même les données nutritives, c’est effectivement plus long mais beaucoup plus sur mesure. Il ne faut pas essayer de tout faire tout d’un coup, mais plutôt au fur et à mesure et ça nous fait lire les étiquettes des produits que l’on consomme, on est parfois étonné! De plus, on retrouve des équivalents dans la liste et une patate, canadienne ou américaine, ça reste une patate...
