Overview

The DASH eating plan asks for two things that are hard to track in your head: less sodium and more vegetables and fruit. Simmer DASH lets you see both before you cook. Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack for the week, and each meal shows its sodium while every day adds up next to the limit your doctor or dietitian gave you.

Add each meal you make once, with what you buy for it and the sodium from the label, and reuse it every week. The Today screen shows the DASH daily servings as a reminder, the built-in food list sorts foods into eat, limit and avoid, with low-sodium swaps, and the grocery list builds itself from your plan, sorted by aisle. It runs in your web browser on your computer, with no account and no subscription.

Questions

How much sodium is allowed on the DASH diet?

The DASH plan from the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute uses 2,300 mg a day, or 1,500 mg for a bigger effect. Ask your doctor which is right for you and type it in Settings.

Does it log my blood pressure?

No. This app is for planning meals and groceries. For readings, see our blood pressure log printable.

Does it come with recipes or a meal plan?

No. It's a planner for your own meals. Add each meal once with what you buy for it and the numbers from the label, then plan it again and again. A built-in example shows how it works.

Will it work on my phone or tablet?

The app is made for computers. Phones and tablets usually can't open an app file like this one. Copy list puts your grocery list on your phone as text.

Is there a subscription?

No. It's a one-time digital download, and your meals stay on your computer.
