Tyrosinemia diet tracker

Tyrosinemia types 1, 2 and 3. Also called hereditary tyrosinemia.

In tyrosinemia the body can’t fully break down tyrosine. The diet limits tyrosine and phenylalanine together, because the body makes tyrosine from phe. In type 1 the diet goes alongside medication.

Phebe shows tyrosine and phe side by side in milligrams for every food, with a daily target for each.

Your clinic sets your targets. Phebe does the counting.

What Phebe counts

  • tyrosine
  • phenylalanine
  • protein

Plus calories, macros, minerals, vitamins and every other amino acid.

How Phebe counts

  • Search the food database, scan a barcode, or photograph a nutrition label.
  • Weigh a portion on a Bluetooth kitchen scale, and the grams go straight into the entry.
  • Set a daily target for each nutrient you count, and see what is left today.
  • Log favorites in one tap, and build a recipe once to log the dish.
  • Start on your phone with no account. A free account adds the web app at app.phebe.life.
