New meal

Add a new meal by clicking on the link "Add a new meal." Besides the name of the meal, enter the time eating the meal into the field "Time".

Choose the food that you have eaten at that meal and enter any additional problems into the field for notes. Since it was usually the additional problems which led you to a doctor or clinical dietitian, you should be consistent when recording them.

If possible, please include the time when the problem occurred (e.g. vomiting half an hour after meals, aversion to meat in the last two months, painful swallowing, constipation lasting even for a week, allergy to fish, etc.). 
Please specify the quantity for each food consumed, either in grams or milliliters, or the number of units (portions, e.g. 5 spoons, 1 cup etc.).

Standard abbreviations of units of measurement:

  • g – gram
  • dag – decagram (10 g)
  • kg – kilogram (1000 g)
  • ml – milliliter
  • dl – deciliter (100 ml)

Nutrients table and food pyramid

On the right side of the meal you can find the table with nutritional and calorie values of the meal, a chart showing the ratio between macronutrients (protein, fats and carbohydrates) and the food pyramid, which provides coverage of the main food groups with the ingredients of a meal. The colourless parts of the table show the absence of recommended foods, the naturally coloured parts indicate the recommended amount, and the red colored parts indicate the excess quantity foods.

Once you have entered all the ingredients of a meal, save the data by clicking "Save." The data will be retained for further processing and will not be visible to a third party.
