WEIGHT LOSS

Many Mijn Eetmeter users utilize it as a weight loss aid. My new balance assists in this process. 

Weekly, you can see:

1.How much weight you've lost and feedback on your weight progress.

2.How much more you're eating within the Wheel of Five. Because eating healthily is essential during weight loss and to maintain your positive changes later on.

3.How many snacks, drinks, and sauces you consume. This overview can help you identify your next step, like replacing soda with a low-calorie version or water.

4.Your progress regarding physical activity. This could be sports but also brisk walking and cycling.

Plus, you receive new tips every week to aid in your weight loss journey.

TRACK BMI

In Mijn Eetmeter, you can track how your weight is changing by regularly entering your weight. A graph illustrates your weight gain or loss and whether your BMI is within a healthy range.

ACTIVITY TRACKER

Sufficient exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle, just like eating nutritious food. If you wish, you can monitor your activity level to see if it meets the recommended guidelines.

WHAT MAKES MIJN EETMETER UNIQUE?

1.Completely free and non-commercial

Mijn Eetmeter remains free. The app is offered free of charge by the Nutrition Centre since we are fully government-funded to assist people in eating healthier, ensuring our information is reliable and independent. We never share your personal information with third parties.

2.Always up-to-date

In Mijn Eetmeter, you find both general food items and many branded products. Product information is sourced from the Food Composition Database. Information on branded products is directly provided by manufacturers.

3.Nutritional values as consumed

If the label displays values for uncooked pasta, we convert this to your actual consumption in Mijn Eetmeter.

4.Advice on vitamins and minerals

While labels show the energy, fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, sodium, and sometimes fiber content, Mijn Eetmeter gives personalized recommendations for these nutrients. You can also focus on vitamins and minerals in the app.

5.According to the Wheel of Five

For those wishing to align with the Wheel of Five, we offer advice based on its principles. You can see how much of your diet fits within the Wheel of Five and receive tips on making healthier choices.

6.Link with the 'Kies ik Gezond?' app

Users of our 'Kies ik Gezond?' app can mark favorite products from that app in Mijn Eetmeter. For each item, you can see its healthiness in that app.

MY NUTRITION CENTRE

Mijn Eetmeter shares data with the website www.mijnvoedingscentrum.nl. You can log in with the same information used for Mijn Eetmeter. There you will find more useful tools and the option to download and print your diary and results.

SUCCESS

The app has been downloaded over 2.5 million times and has numerous satisfied users, like Elly: "It provided insight. For some things, I thought: wow, so many calories, or so much sugar or fat. You know it, but you still get surprised when you see those numbers."
