Is there an app????

[Mikeamy05]

Starting tomorrow is there any app suggested for tracking or allowable foods?

[Physibeth]

No app. The links on this page should help a lot. http://www.whole30.com/new/ Review them carefully and then feel free to ask questions if you still have them. A nice way to track is to start a log in the Your Whole30 section. Logging your food here will allow you to look back and also will allow your peers and our moderator team to give you feedback.

an app is a super idea

You aren't supposed to track calories or nutrients, just follow the template. A log can help with seeing what does well and what doesn't. I use the notes on my phone to do that and I also have the list of allowed foods (I do AI, so my list is a bit more detailed).

Paleo Nom Nom has an app for recipes that I find useful

I keep a handwritten food journal. I already know off the cuff what foods are approved/not approved and I'm a label-reading champion, so I just follow the rules and make notes. I just bought a nice new one and I write in it every day. I like it because I can shorthand my favorite foods and meals, I don't have to write down exact serving sizes (had quite enough of that in my calorie-counting madness days, thanks so much) and I can write about how I'm feeling mentally and physically as well. I tracked my meals and workouts in the last one, and my new one has more, narrower lines so I can fit more in it, like how many hours I slept the night before, if my fiance said or did something really sweet, how my hips and back are feeling, etc. I find it a lot easier than other tracking apps because they all want you to pick from lists and select how much you ate, it's much faster to just grab a pen and scribble it down. It's SUPER useful when I'm eating off-plan, so I can pinpoint foods and combinations of foods that are bothering me (i.e., I've learned that I can eat lentil soup once in a while and I can eat ice cream once in a while, and they won't bother me in isolation, but if I eat lentil soup the day after I eat ice cream, very, very bad things happen).
