  I'm seeing a lot of people are electronically tracking their children's intakes. We have two pkuers, both my husband and I are involved in their diet management, and when my mother in law watches the boys she writes out the weights of foods she feeds them. Anyone using a tool that allows multiple users/devices to access? Recommendation for best one? I want to start tracking our boys calories too! Thanks in advance!

  We use howmuchphe.org . Doctor , schools, and others who feed them can enter and it tracks daily calories also .

  Accugo allows multiple users/devices but is only for iPhone/Apple products. I would think it would be possible on How much phe as well since it is a website.

  How much phe diet tracking! Our two sons and I all have pku. My husband can log on from work and see how much phe we have left for the day to think about dinner! As long as everyone involved has Internet via phone or computer, you're good. If grandma doesn't, you can still have her write things down and it'll be easy enough for you or your hubby to quickly log it in when you pick up.

  How much phe. They have recently spent a lot of time simplifying the search functions and as a long time user, and one of the testers I've been using it quite a while now. I admit to not always using the tracking, as my mother is still thoroughly confused by it, but we do use it every single day. So many foods have recently been added and we really love having it as a resource

  I also use how much PHE because not only does it track multiple users (I have 3, all with PKU) but I like that it is web based so I (or any other care giver, or they themselves) can access it on different devices.

  We are avid accugo users but after spending time with Sarah Chamberlin and Brenda Winiarski yesterday- I may be switching to how much phe. I already use that to search all the foods, and then input them into accugo- so this will save that step. Today I compared the numbers on some products in accugo vs. How much phe- specially non fat milk--- and the number in accugo I was using was way different. By almost 20phe!! That may have convinced me to switch right there. My only hang up is now teaching it to my sons grandparents who are pretty good with accugo. Overall- if you are new to tracking, definitely start with how much phe. Their database is most up to date and is getting more and more user friendly thanks to Sarah! Best of luck!!

  Accugo if you're mobile based. Howmuchphe is great if you constant access to a computer. I would use it if it had an app, but logging into the site through my phone is a pain. It's website really doesn't work well with mobile browsers. Accugo tracks phe and calories but does not get automatic updates like Howmuchphe. Both can be shared with multiple users. Accugo just has a one time fee to download it ($2?) how much phe has to be renewed every year for $50. Both have their positives and areas of opportunity. Just depends on what you like.

  How much phe is the most current snd up to date softer where all the aps like accugo and diet well will be getting the values from them . How much phe organization pays to have foods anazlaye by professionals and this a why they charge an annual and very resonable fee. Well worth it and the only suitable reliable option in my opinion

  Am I the only one who has trouble using how much phe? It's still a website, not an app right? The other day I typed in Swiss miss milk chocolate hot cocoa mix every way you could and couldn't find it, and I've had issues with other foods that are listed in Virginias books. I feel like I still have to use the book too much for the $50 yearly fee.

  

  Ally M. replied:

  The how much phe website is cumbersome to use on a mobile device. I use it to look up any new foods but I don't use the tracking system. It's very slow from the phone and I rarely use a PC or laptop for tracking. My parents, my sons and anyone else can log into accugo and put the info in on my boys diets ( I have 2 with PKU), we share the account. Until HMP develops an app, I find Accugo less time consuming and easier to use on the go.

  

  Brenda W. replied:

  www.howmuchphe.org is the best tracking system in my opinion. Has accurate and up to date search function of thousands of foods (It is the only one that has Virginia's authorized low protein food list and actually uses the proceeds to test new products), the ability to add favorites, your own recipes, etc. Sarah Chamberlin, Jeb Haber and Virginia Schuett did such an amazing job with it.

  Antonetta R. asked:

  I haven't been able to find any state coverage information for Georgia anywhere else so I figured I'd ask here. We are thinking of moving to the Atlanta area and would like to know if anyone has any experience with the clinic at Emory and how state coverage works with Aetna insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  

  Meri G. replied:

  At the bottom of the policy list there is an email for Virginia Schuett. I would email her. She is the woman who developed howmuchphe.org website. Also, this particular policy list was last updated in 2011. Maybe she knows of a newer updated list? Good luck ☺
