Nutrient Tracking

Nutrient tracking is an optional setting that your provider may enable within your Healthie Journal that enables you to log nutrient data leveraging the Edamam Food Database. With this feature turned on, you will have the ability to:

• Search for, and log, specific food items from our internal food database (both from the web and Healthie mobile app)
• View macronutrient and key micronutrient data
• View overall calories consumed per journal entry, and total calories consumed per day as part of Journal Entries

Adding a Nutrient Entry

You can log nutrient journal entries from both the web browser and the mobile app. 

From the web browser:

To add a food journal entry with nutrient data: log in to your Healthie platform, and click on the "Food" journal option on your dashboard. 

1. When the sidebar menu opens up, you can click on the "Add Food" button to get started. 
2. You can then search the Edamam database for the desired food item.
3. Once you've selected the food, you can adjust the serving size and click the blue "Add Food" button to add the item to your entry.
4. You can then fill out the rest of the sub-categories in your journal entry to go with the nutrient data, if you desire. 

From the mobile app: 

To add a food journal entry with nutrient data, log into your Healthie mobile app. From your dashboard, click on the "Food" journal option.

Custom Foods 

In the case that a food or meal cannot be found in our database, you have the option to add you own Custom Food(s). 

Details that can be added for a Custom Food: 

• Food name
• Serving size & number of servings 
• Macronutrient & micronutrient information per serving

My Meals 

To help save time logging, you also have the option to create "My Meals." Meals can be particularly useful for: 

• Saving typical food combinations or go-to meals (ie. an egg & cheese sandwich for breakfast) 
• Entering ingredients from a recipe & building a quick-add serving (ie. 1 cup of the carrot & bean soup that you've made)  

Nutrient data within entries

Every food item within the database displays corresponding calories and macronutrient data. As you adjust the serving size of a food item, the nutrition details will automatically update as well. 

If you log several food items in a single entry, the nutrition data will update to be cumulative for the meal. Nutrition data includes:

• Total calories 
• Total carbohydrates (g) 
• Dietary Fiber (g) 
• Total Sugars (g) 
• Total protein (g) 
• Total fat (g) 
• Saturated fat (g) 
• Trans fat (g) 
• Polyunsaturated fat (g) 
• Monounsaturated fat (g) 
• Cholesterol (mg) 
• Vitamin A (mcg) 
• Vitamin C (mg) 
• Vitamin D (D2+D3) (mcg) 
• Calcium (mg) 
• Iron (mg) 
• Potassium (mg) 
• Sodium (mg)
