Using EAT
We have 35+ years of managing the low-protein diet and every flok we serve has their own unique needs. With that in mind EAT can be as quick as a snapshot of your food choices to as detailed as recipe creation with custom ingredients and servings that can be weighed out and recorded when they're eaten. You can now search the database offline, for those times when you're scanning the back aisles of the grocery store!
In this article you will find all the basic uses in EAT, as well as a video guide at the bottom.
Search
Classic
Look up a food to find out the value based on the tracking profile settings. If the tracking profile counts protein, you will see the unrounded protein content. If the profile counts phe, you will see mg of phe, etc.
Click "Eat" and type into the search bar the food or brand you are looking for.
Click an entry in the typeahead if you know what you want
To see all the options hit "enter/search/return" or the magnifying glass.
To filter your executed search click the "Filter" button and you limit your results to a particular brand.
Offline
The flok app also has offline search capability, so now you can be informed even sitting on the floor in the back of the grocery store, on a cruise in the middle of the ocean, or anywhere else you don't have signal, without carrying around a book. Please note that you cannot currently record/track while offline to prevent log errors.
Location
Use location searching to find recipes, stores, and restaurants! Diversify your diet by finding new foods, places to eat, and delicious low-protein recipes. Simply click the drop down menu when in search, and choose "locations". You can type in a location name or even a brand.
Tracking
Classic
In a profile with food tracking enabled you can log foods to track your diet, identify trends, and export records to share with your clinicians.
You can now swipe on a food, from search results or lists, and record to the food log using the utensils icon, or quickly save to your favorites!
You can now track faster using the tally bar at the top of the app to quickly estimate what is being eaten without looking up a food. You can also record a picture! Click the + on the tally bar, then "more" to add a picture or other details.
Press and hold on a food in your food log or list, then you can track more than one item at the same time! Handy for when you have a favorite meal going on.
Recipes
Build a recipe and flok will help you calculate the values by servings. Save foods you make often to favorites and quicktrack to your log! Click the + next to "Food Log" to start building a meal.
You can clone a recipe to make a version with changes, such as cloning a Cook For Love recipe to swap an ingredient.
Lists
Favorites
Set favorite servings of foods and you can quicktrack from right in your list! You can set a favorite by clicking the heart icon.
User Foods
Have a food you eat often we don't have values for, or find a new one? You can save your own foods and they will appear here along with your recipes. Click the yellow drop down to change between lists.
