About Saturated Fat Counter Tracker

It's easy to eat too much saturated fat, which increases blood LDL cholesterol, the cause of angina, heart attack, and stroke and circulation disorders. Eating too much saturated fat, which is high in calories, providing 9 calories/gram, is also a cause of obesity, and obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, some cancers, and inflammatory diseases. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), 2020–2025 therefore recommend that saturated fat should provide no more than 10% of calories for everyone over 2 years of age. This app will help you achieve this.
The app will guide you to set your target daily saturated fat intake based on your chosen calorie intake (or the default based on your age and sex) and the percentage of calorie intake you wish to be provided by saturated fat. Both calorie and saturated fat targets can be changed at any time.
Synchronize the app (on the Settings screen) so if you have an app bundle you only need to record your food and beverage intake once and it will be shared with all apps. Record your food and beverage intake using the barcode scanner, speech recognition, by favoriting foods, or by using search function and use the serving sizes provided (mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central) or change your serving size.
Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time. You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and saturated fat intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers.
The app’s 328-item curated food and beverage database shows all 212 plant-based foods in green type to help users consume the 30+ different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome. Users can also add their own foods and recipes.
Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share your data with Apple's Health app
Also useful nutritional information via the Info tab.
