Any risk flags today?

Select all that apply. If in doubt, keep the detail out of the food log.

Tip: Save everyday food context in the household log. Keep health questions with the right professional or record system.

What belongs in the household log

Everyday meals

Record foods and drinks served at meals and snacks, without turning the note into a diagnosis.

Portions and timing

Use simple portions, meal timing, and leftovers so shared meals can be applied across profiles.

Helpful patterns

Save ordinary preferences, fullness notes, and repeat meal context when it helps future planning.

Caregiver handoff

Keep practical food notes visible to the right adults without exposing unrelated private details.

What should stay outside FamilyMacro

Health and diagnoses

Keep diagnoses, test results, symptoms, reactions, and professional advice out of the food log.

Growth and metrics

Avoid logging height, weight, BMI, percentiles, and growth concerns as ordinary food notes.

Diet advice

Do not add diet plans, calorie targets, restriction goals, or weight goals for a child.

Medicines and treatment

Keep medicine, supplements, treatment plans, and care instructions in the right record system.

How FamilyMacro fits

  • Focuses child profiles on ordinary household food records.
  • Lets families apply one shared meal across multiple profiles.
  • Supports privacy choices for adult and child records.
  • Keeps child-health decisions outside the app.

FamilyMacro is for food logs, not child-health assessment

Use it for meal context and household coordination. Use qualified support for medical, growth, allergy, and diet-advice questions.
