Forgotten food
Most food is not thrown away because someone planned to waste it. It gets forgotten.
Dietrack can show what is in the kitchen and what should be used soon, then suggest meals that prefer those foods. It does not stop food going off. It does not cut household waste by a measured percentage.
Free on iOS and Android.
Forgotten food is a visibility problem before it is anything else.
You cannot use what you cannot see
Spinach behind the milk is a visibility problem before it is a morals problem.
The shop that ignores the cupboard
Buying another bag of salad while the first one wilts is a list that cannot see inventory.
A meal idea that never met the fridge
If dinner starts on a recipe site, the open jar never gets a job.
Visibility, then a chance to cook, then a smaller gap to buy.
What the numbers are
Household waste is measured. Dietrack does not measure yours.
UK households threw away 6.0 million tonnes of food and drink in 2022, about 88 kg per person (WRAP, Household Food and Drink Waste in the UK 2022). High-income countries average about 81 kg per person per year at the household stage (UNEP Food Waste Index 2024).
Those figures describe countries, not your bin, and not Dietrack. Visibility and meal ideas can make forgotten food easier to cook. They do not produce a household waste percentage. Method: household food waste and seven fixes.
Three places forgotten food shows up.
Kitchen
See use-soon items
Optional expiry dates. Highlighting for about the next three days. Fridge photos help perishables. Receipts help staples.
Ideas
Prefer that food in a day’s meals
Preference, not a lock. Missing extras can still appear, labelled.
List
Buy the gap, not a second fridge
You tap to add. Dietrack does not auto-build a weekly shop or share a household list.
Using food you already paid for.
Seeing the spinach and getting an idea that prefers it is the useful part. Dietrack will not lecture about the planet on this page.
Notice it. Cook it. Shop the gap.
Honest limits.
No elimination claim
Dietrack does not prevent food waste. It does not reduce it by a third, or by 50%.
No leftover object
Add cooked food as a normal item if you want it counted. Storage times live on the leftover tool.
No nagging score
There is no guilt streak for the bin.
No automatic duplicate-buy lock
Seeing inventory makes double-buying less likely. It is not guaranteed.
