Summary
The Foodvisor app has some great features and some promising ones. It can track calories, macronutrients, fiber, hydration, activity, and body weight. It has a barcode scanning feature to make logging food easier; there’s a photography snap-n-log feature as well, but it needs some work. This app uses a color-coded approach to food, categorizing foods as red, orange, yellow, or green; this can be harmful to those with a history of or a tendency to engage in disordered eating behaviors.
