WEIGHT LOSS
Many of the users of My Eetmeter use it to help them lose weight. My New Balance helps with this. You see every week:
1. How much weight you have lost and feedback on your weight progress.
2. How much more you have started to eat within the Wheel of Five. Because healthy eating is the basis for losing weight and for maintaining your good changes later.
3. How many snacks, drinks and sauces you take. This overview can help you to find the next step. For example, replacing soft drinks with a light variant or water.
4. How well you are doing (progressing) in terms of exercise. This can be sports but also brisk walking and cycling.
And every week you will receive new tips that help you lose weight.
KEEPING TRACK OF BMI
In My Food Meter you can keep track of how your weight is developing. To do this, you regularly enter your weight. You will then see in a graph how much you gain or lose and whether your BMI is already healthy.
EXERCISE METER
Sufficient exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle, just like healthy eating. If you want, you can therefore also keep track of how much you exercise and whether this is enough to meet the exercise guideline.
WHAT MAKES MY FOOD METER UNIQUE?
1. Completely free and without commercial interest
My Food Meter is and will remain free. The Nutrition Centre can offer this app for free because we are 100% funded by the government to help people eat healthier. Because we have no commercial interest, our information is independent and reliable. We will also never share your personal information with third parties.
2. Always up to date
In My Food Meter you will find general foods, but also many branded products. My Food Meter gets the product information from the Food Database. We get the product information of branded products in this database directly from manufacturers.
3. Nutritional value as you eat it
If the label shows the values of the raw pasta, we will convert this for you in My Food Meter.
4. Advice also on vitamins and minerals.
The label states how much energy, fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, salt and sometimes also fibres are in the product. In My Food Meter you will receive direct, tailored advice for these nutrients. But you can also pay attention to vitamins and minerals in My Food Meter.
5. According to the Wheel of Five
We offer people who would like to eat more according to the Wheel of Five a Wheel of Five advice. In this advice you will see how much you already eat according to the Wheel of Five and you will receive tips on how to make healthier choices.
6. Link with the app 'Do I Choose Healthy?'
Users of our 'Do I Choose Healthy?' app can make products from that app favourites in My Food Meter. In this app you can see per product whether it is healthy.
MY NUTRITION CENTER
