Hello Together
In the last week we took pictures of our dishes and meals at home or on travel.
In this post I want to highlight what are the diffuculties about this project are.
- To remember myself to take a photo of my dish before every meal wasn`t so easy. Beside them, you smartphone is not always at the same place like you. Sometimes i had to search me smartphone bevore eating the dish.
- You eat normaly two ore three times a day. So you have to take everywhere and always your smartphone with you.
I thought that the app was easy to operate it. If you collect your data`s for the dish (Ingrediants, Packaging), I was always very fast with the feed.
In conclusion I found it an interesting project to see what I exactly eat in one week.

We use so much plastic everyday and are so burning more and more fossil fuels. This is very hurtfull for our planet and we will not have these ressourcers anymore, so we should change our habits now! More...
Hi everyone :)
I want to share my experience with the food app; KoBo Toolbox. We have to document what we eat the whole time and click what is in our food.
I had to reminde myself everytime I ate something that I have to capture a picture of it and to uploade it. Also that I have to know what is in it.
My experience was that when it was during school or during work I always uploaded it. But at the weekend I forgott it. I dont know why exactlly, but I think is because of that my ''eating time'' is not regular. It was also difficult to know exactlly what is in my food or is it local or not. Or if it is seasonal or not. Now I do a little research and learn somthing about the food I eat and I think that is very good! :)
I have to improve myself during the weekend that I also uploade what I eat then. I have to set an reminder on my phone that would help.

It was our job to register every meal and every snack in the Toolbox for a week.
Because I tend to forget such regular tasks, I've stuck a post-it note in three different places. One in the phonecase, one in the wallet and one on the kitchen cupboard. That helped me, not forgetting to enter my food in the Toolbox.
The app is clearly structured and easy to use. My difficulty was the part where I had to choose what ingredients were in my food. I completed it as well as possible and now hope that my data is "usable" for the evaluation.
If there is an overhang of yogurt in the evaluation, then it is because of me. :-)

Hello together,
I would like to share my experience with you, which I made within a week with the KoBo Toolbox food app.
I think the app is very simple and doesn't have too many fields to fill out, which some might find annoying.
My biggest difficulty was to remember to take a picture before each meal and enter the data accordingly. Often I only thought about it after I had eaten. A reminder on my smartphone would have helped me.
I am looking forward to the results.

Hello everyone!
I would like to share with you my experience with the food app on KoBo Toolbox.
Our exercise is to register every food we eat during the day for one week in this food app.
On my view, the food app is very easy to understand and it is also clearly arranged.
To register every food I eat during the day is for me a little bit time-consuming. It is difficult, because I do not have much time beside work, school, music, and my horse.
However, even if it is time-consuming, I think it will be very interesting to evaluate the data we registered. I also think, we will have a good base for our projects and because of that, I will try to register as much as I can.

For my diner, there was cropland used for the lettuce, wheat, dairy and meat on the pizza.
There was no fish on my pizza, so it didn't need any fisheries.
The pizza was in a carboard box, so it needed the forest.
I bought it in a store, so there was Built-up land used.
For the carbon footprint, the ingredients where transported and there was a production of plastic.
My meal has a medium Ecological footprint because, you can make it at home with your own grown vegetables.
What if you could eat the packaging off your food instead of throw it into the bin?
Some startup companies are on a good way to invent new technologies to wrap our food into edible foils or packaging. That is inspiring, isn't it?
