That Sugar App Info
Many everyday food and drink products that are commonly perceived as ‘healthy’ are actually high in sugar. Use That Sugar App to track the amount of sugar you and your family are consuming.The main purpose of That Sugar App is to encourage you to make healthier food choices by helping you uncover the ‘hidden’ sugar in packaged food and beverage products you consume.
That Sugar App converts the total sugars in food and drink products based on your chosen serving size and graphically displays it in ‘teaspoons’ that can be added to a daily tally to track your sugar consumption.
It allows you to find and add products by ‘Scanning’ the barcode or by looking up products and common café/takeaway menu items using the ‘Search’ function. If you like to add sugar to your hot beverages or use it in your cooking, the ‘Manual’ function allows you to include this sugar in your daily tally.
You can also set a personal ‘sugar challenge’ to help you track and moderate the amount of teaspoons you are having in a day, week or month.
Features:
- Find out the sugar content of everyday food items from the largest independent packaged food products database in Australia
- Track your daily consumption and have it displayed in a simple ‘teaspoon’ graphic
- Participate in ‘That Sugar Challenge’ by setting your teaspoon goal and selecting the length of time for your challenge
- Share your progress with friends and family on Facebook to inspire them to explore how much sugar they are consuming and reduce their own intake
A few things to bear in mind when using the App:
• Be aware of ‘hidden’ sugars
• Focus on reducing the ‘added’ sugar in your diet
• Don't remove natural sugars found in whole fruit, veg and dairy
• Many foods marketed as ‘healthy’ are high in sugar
• The #1 health risk for Australians is now poor diet
• Sugar is part of a bigger nutritional picture
