Now for the ACIDS test:
Aesthetics
You start off by entering some information about yourself:
Sex
Date of birth
Height (imperial or metric)
Weight (imperial or metric)
Waist size (imperial or metric); for some reason the displayed size is 1" less than chosen, although accurate in centimetres.
Fat Percent (optional)
Activity level (choose from: couch potato, lightly active, exercising regularly, exercising machine, energy bomb)
After this you set your goal of Target weight (it could be your existing weight), and the intensity of weight loss achievable (or how much you are prepared to suffer); this is in kilograms per week, from 0.1 to 0.5. The App will then calculate your target date for achieving your new weight goal. It will also give you a daily calorie intake, as well as a split of protein, carbohydrates, fibre and fat.
You then set how much you eat at each meal (including snacks), and whether these are eaten out, takeaway, ready meal, or cooked.
Next up are your preferences; this is currently limited to being a vegetarian, or not.
Now you get to pick food types you like, and when you care to eat them. This is beautifully done by dragging pictures into shopping bags.
Neutrino now prepares your individual daily meal menus for as far ahead as you want. Adding the groceries required to your shopping list is as easy as touching the shopping cart trolley icon on the screen.
This shopping list can then be emailed or even bought directly via the interface with an online store.
Cost
The App is absolutely free; you'll need to pay for the groceries though.
Indispensability
Surely one of the challenges facing dieters is chiding on a menu that is not boring or repetitive. This App takes care of that dilemma.
Dependability
The App works fine. It might be worth noting that if you want to change the settings you originally set for yourself, these need to be individually accessed, as the original entry route is only available on first use; this is not a problem, just might save you some time.
Security
There is an option to share information with Facebook, Withings and Heart Age; the usual caution should be observed.
