Wholesum's Home tab on Thursday, October 29: “You're right on pace this week. Today you can still have 271,” above a growing plant with one leaf for each day logged.
Wholesum's Track tab: 271 calories left today from a 2,061 target, with protein, carbs and fat shown as three jars filling up.
Wholesum's Add Food screen: a search bar for foods, brands and recipes, recent foods like roasted asparagus and baked salmon, and buttons to scan a barcode or enter food manually.

  1. Tell it about you

    Age, height, weight, how active you are, and whether you want to lose, keep or gain. Wholesum works out a daily calorie target with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and splits it into protein, carbs and fat.

  2. Log what you eat

    Each meal gets its own card. Search, scan a barcode, or tap a recent food, and the day adds itself up.

  3. Check in once a week

    Step on the scale and Wholesum compares what happened with what was expected, then nudges your target up or down a little.

Also in the app.

Barcode scanner
Point the camera at a packaged food and its label fills itself in.
Portions you would say out loud
“1 slice”, “2 tbsp”, “1 medium apple”. Change the amount and everything recalculates.
Recipes
Enter a recipe once, with a photo. Wholesum works out each serving, so you log one bowl instead of fourteen ingredients.
Trends
Weight and calorie charts over a week, a month, a quarter or a year, plus a weekly review of what changed.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Calorie allowances follow published guidelines and move with your trimester on their own.
Extra nutrients, if you want them
Turn on fiber, sugar, saturated fat or sodium. Leave them off if they don’t matter to you.
