I think that this app might prove to be quite suitable for those of you who are just starting out in your journey towards a fitter body and don’t want to be inundated with the dozens of dietary fads and dogmas the Internet has become rife with these days.

Based On the USDA Food Pyramid

This app is primarily based on the USDA food pyramid which is less than ideal when it comes to optimal health and well-being in the long term but should provide a rough template for you to work with when figuring out your own diet.

If you want to forego the recommendations included this app then you can also use it to make your own diet plan, and things are kept very simple and straightforward as you can see different food groups and what typically constitutes an appropriate serving size.

All Data is Stored Offline

EatRight - Daily food log diet checklist healthy nutrition guide should come in very handy when it comes to maintaining an ongoing log of your dietary habits, and all of the data is stored locally on your iOS device so you won’t need to be connected to the Internet to use it.

What’s more, the developer urges users to contact them via email if any technical issues are encountered, so be sure to shoot them a quick message if you come across any annoying errors.
