Glyx: Glycemic Load & Index
Loading..
Loading...
Glyx is a user friendly database displaying nutrition details for
approximately 1000 various foods focusing on the glycemic index
which are essential for low carb diets. Glycemic values are
displayed by individual food in the summaries as well as on the
detailed page for each food type which also indicates the glycemic
index. The Glyx diet is similar with the Montignac und Logi methods
which also are part of the family of low calorie diets. This app
also assists diabetics to configure an optimal diet.
A summary page enables a sorting order to display nutritional values or alternatively vitamin or mineral contents as desired. The app can thus be used to identify foods to counteract symptoms of deficiency in nutrition. To facilitate the search the various foods are grouped into categories with individual buttons for direct access. The search function works either for all foods or within each category. Upon selection of an individual food the list shows the nutrition facts and facilitates the calculation of the various values with individual quantities as entered on top of the page next to amount.
The supported nutrients are: Energy protein alcohol water carbohydrates sugar starch fiber fats (saturated cholesterol poly unsaturated mono unsaturated) vitamins (A carotene B1 B2 B3 B5 B9 B12 D E) sodium potassium chloride calcium magnesium phosphorus iron iodide zinc.
Glyx is currently available in 4 languages English German French and Italian and supports metric as well as imperial measurement units.
In the pipeline for future versions:
• Assembling various foods to piece together an entire meal.
• To save and share own menus with other users.
• Rate and ranking of menus
• Search for foods based on ingredients and nutritional values
• Calculation of nutritional data for entire meals.
• Direct comparison of foods
GuiltyBits is made up of two software developers and Glyx is the result of their efforts in their spare time. Our vision ist the creation of user friendly apps with high functionality. Your feedback will be very much appreciated and any help to improve Glyx is welcomed.
