About Japanese Nutrition Reference
Are you just looking at calories? This app is a professional-grade nutritional reference tool based on highly reliable, up-to-date data from official government sources (MEXT & MHLW). It helps you and your family intuitively grasp your "true nutritional needs" beyond simple calorie counting. With the major v2.0 update, we now fully support macronutrients for dieting and muscle building, a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals, and the long-awaited nutritional standards for pregnant/lactating women and infants/children from age 0! ◆ Recommended for: Pregnant & Nursing Mothers: Easily track the specific "additional intake" required for each stage (Early, Middle, Late pregnancy, and Lactation). Know exactly how much extra Folic Acid or Iron you need today. Parents making Baby/Toddler Food: Quickly find answers like "How much iron does a 6-8 month old need?" or "What is the safe limit for salt?" Fitness Enthusiasts & Dieters: Go beyond calories. Check your PFC balance and the quality of fats (Saturated, n-3, n-6 fatty acids) with precision. Health-Conscious Users: Identify "Overconsumption Red Zones" for sodium (salt) and saturated fats—the common culprits behind health checkup concerns. ◆ Key Features Personalized DRI Calculation: Simply set your age, gender, and physical activity level—plus pregnancy stage or lactation status—to automatically calculate your daily target and upper limit values. Intuitive Progress Bar UI: [Green] "Target Range" for proteins and fats. [Blue] "Recommended Amount" for vitamins and minerals. [Orange] "Upper Limit" to avoid overconsumption (e.g., salt, saturated fats). Understand your balance at a glance through colors and gauges, even if you aren't a fan of numbers. Authoritative Data: Powered by the latest "Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan (2023)" and "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025)." In an age of information overload, keep the "gold standard" of nutrition in your pocket. Your ultimate partner for grocery shopping and meal planning. Note on Language & Standards: > This app is currently available in Japanese only. All nutritional data and recommendations are based on the specific Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025). It is ideal for Japanese nationals living abroad who wish to manage their health according to Japanese official standards.
