Stay on track using your mobile phone

Nutracheck Mobile - a UK first!

Our special program for your mobile is a food diary and calorie checker rolled into one. It's especially useful if you want to update your food diary on the move as it synchronises with your online account.

How can my mobile help me to lose weight?

The success of a food diary is down to keeping it up to date. Now when away from your PC, you can use your mobile rather than relying on memory.

Enter what you eat on the go into your mobile before you forget, to ensure that you're staying within your daily targets. You can then synchronise over the air between your mobile phone and online food diary to update it so when you log back in, it's all there.

The food diary and calorie checker program is downloaded onto a mobile phone via a text message. And as the calorie information for thousands of food products is all stored on your mobile, there's no need to carry a calorie book around with you!

It's a discreet and convenient tool to complement the online service that can improve your chances of losing weight if you honestly record everything you eat and drink and stay within the calorie targets. You don't have to use this, it's just available as an optional extra if you want it.

How does the synchronisation* work?

Any foods you've entered into your mobile phone food diary or favourites will be updated in your online food diary, and vice versa - anything you've entered online gets sent to your phone.

All you do is select the 'My Diary' menu option on your mobile phone, then press 'Sync with web'. You mobile connects with your online account and you will see a message 'Creating Diary'. After a few seconds it should say 'Completed' confirming the data has been exchanged. If your phone doesn't sync, it may be that a setting needs to be enabled - which will require you to contact your network provider. If this happens, contact the Help team at mobile@nutracheck.co.uk for advice on what instructions to give your operator.

*Process requires a data connection - usual network operator data transfer costs apply.
