Eating right is hard, but Cooking District's My Daily Plate makes it easy and fun. Inspired by the USDA ChooseMyPlate icon and complete library of food, Cooking District's My Daily Plate helps you make more informed, nutritious and rewarding decisions throughout the day. Start thinking about what goes on your plate before your next meal.

But My Daily Plate is NOT a calorie counter. Our goal is to provide a simple and quick app to help you easily ensure that you're eating more balanced meals everyday. There's no typing, no keyboard, no data entry required. It has none of the typical overhead and required steps that come with most food and calorie counting apps, which eventually frustrate people to the point of giving up! Food items in Cooking District's My Daily Plate which do not classify into any of the five food groups have been excluded since they will not contribute to meeting your daily requirements. Several items have also been consolidated/grouped to make the selection process quicker and easier, since many of the items will have the same daily requirement for the food group. Start thinking about what's significantly contributing to your nutrional needs, rather than trying to track all the bad food you eat.

All too often, people looking to eat right, eat wrong. Erring on the side of too much protein, too few fruits, or out of proportion portions. Cooking District's My Daily Plate helps monitor your daily nutritional progress not just by showing you what to eat but how much. Because the key to better eating is balanced eating. And the key to a happier you is a healthier you.
