Track food, symptoms, and nutrient patterns in one place.
NutriSignals is a Windows nutrition tracking app for people who need more than calories and macros. It keeps food, symptoms, weight, and broader health context in one record, then surfaces the nutrient gaps, excesses, watch items, and patterns that stand out first.
Signals means the nutrient gaps or excesses, watch items, patterns over time, and the foods or records contributing to what stands out.
Switch country-based nutrient references so targets, watch items, and related warnings match the reference set you want to use.
Designed and developed locally with a practical focus on clarity, detail, and real-world usefulness.
A desktop-first workflow gives you larger tables, deeper review, and better long-form tracking than tiny mobile screens.
Prepare clearer summaries for your own records, doctor visits, or hospital review without rebuilding the story from scratch.
How it works
The workflow stays simple: set the profile context, log what happened, review what stands out, then decide what to change next. The difference is that NutriSignals keeps those steps connected instead of splitting them across separate apps and notes.
1) Set your profile
Choose country-based nutrient references, set goals, and add profile or condition context so the app highlights what is relevant to you.
2) Log food and daily context
Record food, recipes, barcodes, symptoms, weight, medications, or vitals so the nutrition record stays connected instead of scattered across separate tools.
3) Review priority signals
See daily totals, deficits, surpluses, selected-range watch items, sortable nutrient review, and trend graphs that show what is improving or drifting off target.
4) Act on what stands out
Use practical food suggestions, Diet Tuner, Diet Puzzle, weight review, and exportable summaries to decide what to change next and what to bring to follow-up.
Healthy-looking food is not the same as nutritional balance
A diet can look sensible on the surface and still miss important nutrients, overdo others, or drift away from what your current goals and condition context actually need.
Demo screens
A quick look at the connected workflow: set the profile context, log food and symptoms, review daily and selected-range signals, then act with targeted suggestions, Diet Tuner, or the interactive Diet Puzzle.
Set the profile context behind every review
This screen is where NutriSignals learns which targets, filters, and broader context to use before anything is logged.
- Choose AU / NZ / US / Canada nutrient references for the record.
- Set goals for energy, protein, sodium, fluid, weight, and target rate.
- Add condition context so watch items, food suggestions, and filters stay relevant.
- Keep broader health details in the same record instead of scattered notes.
See how each food fits today’s plan
The Food Diary is not just a passive log. It shows each food in the context of today’s totals, gaps, excesses, and next-step guidance so you can make small practical corrections while the day is still in progress.
- Review daily totals across nutrients, not just energy and macros.
- Spot deficits, excesses, tracked exposures, and plain-language summary guidance in the same view.
- The Fit score gives each row an at-a-glance guide to how that food and portion fit today’s current nutrition picture.
- The small arrow next to Fit adds direction: increase a little, reduce a little, or leave it roughly where it is for today.
- Hover detail helps you inspect contributor context, standout nutrient or food entries, and supporting explanation without crowding the grid.
- A food can be generally sensible and still be the wrong amount for today’s current gaps or excesses, so Fit helps you tidy up portions using foods already in the diary before making bigger swaps.
Review a selected period, not just today
The Summary screen is one of NutriSignals’ strongest differentiators. It helps you understand what has actually been happening over a week or other selected range.
- Watch items bring the main concerns to the top first.
- Macro chips and nutrient totals show gaps, excesses, and what matters next.
- Sortable nutrient review makes hidden deficits easier to spot without digging through raw logs.
- Foods eaten and nutrient detail help explain which foods are contributing to what stands out.
- Hover detail helps you inspect contributors, watch items, and standout values more closely without turning the summary into clutter.
See whether a gap is improving or drifting
The Nutrient Tracker turns selected-range review into a clearer trend view, so you can compare daily values with the overall direction of change.
- Issue chips show which nutrients are currently outside target or reference range.
- Graph lines show daily values, overall trend, and the target or reference line in one view.
- Add extra nutrients to the graph when you want to compare several together.
- Hover and highlight cues help you inspect which nutrient line you are looking at and what is standing out without overloading the default graph.
- Useful when you need pattern review over time instead of a one-day snapshot.
Find foods that fit the current gap
Suggestions are driven by the actual issue you are trying to solve, not by generic “healthy food” lists.
- Target chips keep the screen focused on the current gaps or priorities.
- Condition-aware filtering helps results stay grounded in the user’s real context.
- Food source filters let you work with AFCD, AUSNUT, FDC, branded, or custom sources.
- Useful for “what should I add next?” instead of broad food advice with no context.
Turn the current pattern into practical next steps
Diet Tuner looks at the selected period and suggests concrete reduce, keep, or increase actions before you make major food changes. Extra detail helps explain why a change is being suggested, what it is trying to improve, and where the trade-offs may sit.
- Current issue chips keep the focus on the biggest gaps first.
- Recommended changes show target guides, upper guides, and suggested swaps in one table.
- Hover and info detail help explain which nutrients or targets a suggested change is trying to help, rather than dropping unexplained recommendations into a table.
- Expected direction cards show which core areas are likely to improve or worsen if the changes are followed.
Learn from your week in a more interactive, game-style way
Diet Puzzle is an interactive, game-style way to learn from your own diet patterns. It uses your real food habits so you can see which choices help, which choices hurt, and how to build a more balanced week.
- Fix My Week starts with a real logged week, so you work on the pattern you already tend to eat instead of an imaginary meal plan.
- Build a Week lets you experiment from scratch and learn what a stronger, more balanced week could look like before trying it in real life.
- Weekly nutrient status chips make it easier to see which choices are helping the week and which ones are pushing it further off track.
- Challenge-style progress and visual feedback make weekly trade-offs easier to understand than a static planner or generic advice list.
- Because it is built around your own foods and habits, the lesson is practical: what helps, what hurts, and what a better repeatable week could look like for you.
Track weight with more context
Weight goals are easier to interpret when target weight, goal trajectory, and actual daily energy intake stay beside the nutrition record instead of in a separate app.
A weight tracker that stays connected to nutrition tracking
NutriSignals keeps weight tracking in the same record as food, nutrients, and symptoms, so progress can be reviewed in context rather than guessed from scale data alone.
- Log weigh-ins with notes and review them by date range.
- Compare actual weight with a target weight, goal trajectory, and target rate.
- See daily calorie or kilojoule intake versus target on the same graph.
- Keep weight, food, symptoms, and summaries connected for follow-up or export.
Beyond food tracking
NutriSignals is designed as a connected record, not just a food diary. Food logging is only one part of the picture.
Symptoms, medications, vitals, weight context, notes, and exportable review tools stay alongside food and nutrient data so the bigger story is easier to follow.
- Symptom diary, medications, blood pressure, and blood glucose tracking.
- Weight context, daily energy intake, and broader review tools in the same record.
- Exportable summaries that are easier to bring to doctor or hospital review.

A note from the developer
NutriSignals was built to make nutrition tracking more useful, more practical, and easier to understand — especially for people managing real health conditions.
I wanted something better than a basic food diary. Something that could show what matters, highlight patterns, and produce summaries worth reviewing with a doctor or dietitian.
This is not a venture-backed app built in a boardroom. It is a carefully designed Windows application built in Brisbane, with a focus on clarity, detail, and real-world usefulness.
