Latest reviews of Metabolic Balancer app for iPhone and iPad
USDA data gives avocado 2gm protein per 100g. Your program has it at 2.3 mg phe/g but Virginia schuetts book has it at .93/g. My daughter eat this often, could someone give me the right numbers please. I find this app very useful. So far, the only thing I dont like is the scrolling wheel when choosing brand ect..
I have been using this app now for 5 years. I have loved it. However, it crashes out of nowhere every few months. I am forced to delete it, including all of my manually entered favorites, and previous logs. There is no update to fix the crashing. I open the app, and as soon as I try to log something it crashes. I am so fed up with this issue.
Basically the reason we left verizon was to be able to use this app. Needs a lot of work and very disappointed in how little info is in the database.
Still needs a lot of work and would be great to be able to edit preentered items to match the pku food book. Also would be better if we could choose which logs to send. Looking forward to the updates.
As an adult on Kuvan, this has been very helpful to me. It has a wide variety of food options and provides all food in Phe, Exchanges and Grams of Protein & calories. There is also an option to add food items if you can not find it in the large well defined registry. With all new apps, a few tweeks are needed but this is definatly worth it! As most iphone users are additcted to their phone, this is a perfect way to keep your daily food intake on target all the time. Way to go Cambrooke!
