Guides
Short answers to the questions people ask when a food diary isn't telling them anything. Each one is about keeping a diary that answers, on paper or in an app, and says where NutrUp does the counting for you.
What to bring your dietitian
One page for the appointment: meals not days, counts with and without, what came up clear.
What restaurant food often hides
What common dishes usually have in them that the plate doesn't show, and how to log a meal you didn't cook.
Why your food diary never told you anything
The three ways food diaries fail, and how to keep one that answers.
Why your diary says you react to everything
Foods ride along with the real one, and a diary by day blames both. How to count a food on its own meals.
When it's not the food
Two honest weeks and no food lines up? That's a result. Sleep and stress in one tap each, quiet days marked clear at 9 pm.
How long after a meal do symptoms show up?
Hours, usually, not minutes. Why a day-wide diary blames everything, and how NutrUp works out each food's hours.
How to reintroduce one food at a time
A small portion first, a few meals, and write down the ones where nothing happened. How NutrUp does the bookkeeping.
What app can help me figure out what's causing my bloating?
The five things a diary app has to do before it can answer, and how the apps people use measure up, checked October 2026.
NutrUp does the counting.
