What determines the color coding of the Nutrients progress bars? Topic


Hey there

the Salt and Net Carbs Nutrient progress bars are orange, while most of the others are purple.

what determines this difference in colour coding of a nutrients progress bar?

It's not if it exceeds 100% of the target, because other nutrients have done that and they're progress bars are purple..


Hey U1198479844,

Sorry for our delay in response. The delay has occurred due to unforeseen circumstances. I am alerting our excellent, caring support team to your technical question. They can best explain. Thanks and hope your day is great! Brenda (MyNetDiary Dietitian)


Hello, we only display certain nutrients in orange in case of overage:
Fat, Carbs, Net Carbs, Protein, Sat Fat, Sodium/Salt, Sugar, Alcohol Sugars, Added Sugars, Caffeine, Alcohol, Vitamin K, Oxalate, Fructose, Lactose, Cholesterol

If a nutrient is NOT on the list, its color does not change in case of overage.

Our dieticians developed this system of Colors. We show red exceed color for extremely dangerous Trans Fat. Vitamins and Minerals are always purple. There is no option to change these Colors.
