iOS/WP: Most nutrition trackers focus on giving you an easy way to track calories consumed towards a daily goal. Wholesome takes a different approach, and helps you make sure you're getting the vitamins and nutrients you need every day, and serves as a guide to what nutrients are in what foods.


Whether you want to make sure you're getting enough iron or calcium in your diet, or you just want to know what nutrients a specific food or ingredient offers before you consume it, Wholesome can tell you. It takes a visual approach to helping you get the nutrients you need through the day, so the phrase "eat the rainbow," something we've mentioned before, comes into play. Best of all, the app puts all of this information right on your phone, so you can quickly look up spinach, for example, to see what health benefits the food actually offers.

The information in the app is sourced from the USDA, and each nutrient comes with a detailed description of what it is and why it's important (or not that important) for your health. From there, you can track what you've eaten and see how well your diet is helping you get to those recommended daily vitamin and mineral values. The app is free, but if you want to add-in a food diary to track what you've eaten, it'll set you back $2.99 via in-app purchase. Hit the links below to grab it at your app store of choice.
