Based on the popular Track & Share platform, this app helps you cultivate mindfulness. Developed by a mindful eater who uses it every day to bring more awareness and joy to eating. This is not a diet plan and not a calorie counter, but it might work better for your health and happiness. Try it out, it might be just right for you.
What is mindfulness?
Mindful Eating Tracker works with two modes of mind: awareness and doing-thinking. It is desirable that one can easily move between these modes of mind.
Stuck in doing-thinking mode?
This app helps by building awareness of different types of hunger. It also supports doing-thinking, e.g., you can track time set aside for eating, time exercised, and if you need to, track weight.
Basic concepts employed by the Mindful Eating Tracker app
Arising food cravings are real
Acknowledge an arising food thought by making a note. Decide to let it fade away or to act on it.
There are many types of hunger
Cultivate awareness of eye, nose, mouth, mind, heart, social, stomach hunger, thirst, listen to the needs of your body.
Hint: friends, not potato chips feed social hunger.
Enjoy, satisfy, express yourself
Consume the right food for each hunger. Become aware of how much you enjoy each food. Capture your level of satisfaction. Express gratitude.
Will I lose weight with this app?
You may, or not. The intention is to cultivate awareness and right action. If you need to track weight, look in the apps number category.
Does it work?
Graph your journey. You might find that taking care of your different hungers, making time for eating comes with more joy, satisfaction, gratefulness, and healthier weight. Did it work?
The visual calendar
Lets you explore trends and patterns one item at a time. To compare items use the multi-graph.
Pros and cons of Mindful Eating Tracker app for iPhone and iPad
Mindful Eating Tracker app good for
Dont see what people are complaining about. The app does exactly what I needed to do. I give it 5 stars.
While there are some areas where this app can improve, I still find it very useful in keeping track of and identifying relationships between various elements that affect my day-to-day life. I love how easy it is to add things and the various ways they can be tracked, e.g., pain can be moderate to severe to not at all, you can count cups of coffee using a single tap; you can set something up to be measured in percentages, length of time, number of pounds, and more. There are areas that I dont use. I have yet to see how the calendar feature is of any help. It would be far better if I had more control of where items appear, so I could, for example, more easily compare how much sleep I had to how much patience I had the next day. And I wish that you could view the graphs horizontally so you could compare more elements together over a longer period, but it does not rotate. And even though it automatically appeared on my iPad when I downloaded it onto my phone, the entries I make on my phone dont appear on my iPad, and the annoying verticality is also there. Having it work across devices like my calendar does would be a great feature. That said, I use it very day and it has helped me stay on track on diet and exercise and to become more aware of how other experiences (like how much my neighbors dog was barking or how much I socialized) affect my success.
Some bad moments
Im really wishing Id been able to try out this app before wasting my money on it. Its super confusing to get around and I spent way too much time figuring it out via trial and error. One plus is that you can add and modify the categories and charts, but thats all it is, essentially. Categories and charts. Certainly not worth three dollars.
Very confusing! I completed the tutorial several times and still cant locate the icons and buttons mentioned. Worst of all, there is no contact for support within the app.
This innovative app allowed me to analyze and quantify my eating habit in a all encompassing way: psychological, social, emotional and physical hunger. I can easily link all those parameters to whats most important: my health, weight and wellbeing.
An excellent app for breaking out of negative food relationships. Very pleasurable to use. Not a chore. A great companion to any CBT work one might be doing.
Like this app. Different approach which I think is more meaningful than just following numbers. I use it like a journal.
I have been looking for just such an app for a long time. Slight learning curve. The "add item" button is very misleading. You only need to add and pay for a item if you used up all 20. The area to customize the items is hard to find at first!
It took me a while to figure this out.
Move or change that button to eliminate frustration.
Otherwise... Perfect! Love this app!
