Recording a meal

Recording meals keeps a picture of your phenylalanine (Phe) intake over the day. The more consistently you record, the more useful the picture is for you and your care team.

How to record a meal

1. Open the Diet section from your dashboard.
2. Choose Add meal and pick the time of day.
3. Add each food or drink, with its amount.
4. Save. The meal now appears in your daily overview.

Tips for accurate records

• Record as you go. It is easier to add a meal right after eating than to remember everything at the end of the day.
• Use amounts you can measure. Weights or common household portions are more useful than rough guesses.
• Do not worry about being perfect. A steady, honest record is more valuable than an occasional exact one.

If you are a Guardian

When you care for a Dependent, first make sure the correct person is chosen as your Selected Dependent, then record the meal as above. It is stored against that Dependent, not against you.
