Wallet-Sized Induction Chart & iPhone app?

[samswoman]

First of all, does anyone have the wallet-sized induction chart? In the original post (which is roughly 5 years old?) I cannot see the link to get it anymore and lost mine when my wallet was stolen.

Also, is anyone using one of the iPhone apps to track carbs, exercise and such?

TIA!

Thanks for pointing this out. The list (an image) was posted on a member's Geocities page. As you might know, Yahoo discontinued Geocities... and the member hasn't been around for quite some time... so the list was lost.

Maybe someone has a copy of it.

You could also make your own...

Thank you samswoman for pointing out that it had vanished into cyberspace

And to atkinsgal08 for posting a link to the copy she has of the original graphic.

I have uploaded a copy to ADBB so hopefully it won't get lost again and updated the sticky in the Extended Induction forum as well as altered the link to it in the sticky thread at the top of this forum which lists links to many useful Atkins Induction threads.

To Original Poster: I have been having a hard time getting started with Atkins, and have been considering trying to create an application to help me track my progress, make decisions quickly, but most of all so I will never have an excuse for forgetting or ignoring something.
I would love to hear ideas from you on what type of App you would find useful.

Have you checked the available apps to see if there's something that would work for you?

hi atkins gal,
i have look, but i haven't found anything that seems very useful.
there are apps that track weight well, there are apps that track exercise, there are apps that track food, but they tend to be very specialized and the data is not very flexible.
do you know of one that you would recommend?

I have Carb Finder ... which is good if you're wanting to look something up at the store.

I also have Aces Weight and Fitness Tracker ... which I use primarily for BP and tracking walking and biking. It does do weight, too ... and can track Blood Sugar.

I have a free app Weight Trends.

There's Carb Tracker ... but I didn't think it would do anything for me that Carb Finder wouldn't ... and I already owned Carb Finder!

I guess at this point of my Atkins journey, I'm not interested in tracking food in a handheld ... I could write things down and enter it into Fitday when I got home.

When I had a PalmPilot, I did like having the USDA database on it ... and Carb Finder is also the USDA database, so I'm pretty set with what I need.

What decisions were you expecting the app to help you with?

Hmm... see, I want to avoid having things spread all over.

I guess what I want is:

*An app with USDA database in it, to which you can also add your own brand name foods, using the information on the nutrition label.
*After looking them up once, you should be able to very quickly add foods that you often eat and have the nutritional components added to your daily tally.
*The same should be true for meals and recipes; after registering the recipe once, it should automatically add up the nutritional value of all ingredients and be accessible after that at the touch of a button (the frequent foods list should be on a scroll week or something.
*You should be able to set daily limits or weekly average limites.
*Water consumption should be included and counted.
*You should be able to enter a goal weight and a current weight, and track it over time in both chart and graph format. Measurements too!
*It would be great if you could upload pictures of yourself from your iphone and make a weightloss slidehow... though that would require a lot of data.
*A menstruation calendar would be great...
*Finally, there should be a button you can press to generate an XML file and email it to the e-mail address you specify, so that you can easily convert it to excel or whatever else without having to retype all the data.

Basically, there would be a screen for daily tally, a screen for setting goals and limits, a screen for history/tracking
The main purpose of this for me would be to help me be mindful of what I am doing with food each day. I can be a little ADD sometimes.

>>*An app with USDA database in it, to which you can also add your own brand name foods, using the information on the nutrition label.>>

Carb Finder does that.

My advice to you though is to not believe the nutritional label ... even if it's a "brand name" ... since labels are not as accurate as the USDA database ... labels "round".

>>*After looking them up once, you should be able to very quickly add foods that you often eat and have the nutritional components added to your daily tally.>>

I believe Carb Finder does that ... it has something called "plate".

>>meals and recipes>>

Don't know about "recipes" ... I would use Fitday for that.

>>A menstruation calendar would be great...>>

I'm sure you know there's many an app for that.

>>Water consumption should be included and counted.>>

That was a feature in the other Carb app I mentioned above ... and is probably in many others, too.

>>Finally, there should be a button you can press to generate an XML file and email it to the e-mail address you specify, so that you can easily convert it to excel or whatever else without having to retype all the data.>>

The Weight and Exercise app I mentioned above does that for it's data.

I wish you well on creating or finding an app that does everything you want!

I hope not having this app right now doesn't keep you from being successful with your goals!

Remember ... those things are just tools!
