Your analysis is only as good as your data
Every analysis in Foodworks traces back to verified Australian and New Zealand food composition data. AusFoods and AusBrands are Xyris’s proprietary databases, drawing on AUSNUT and the Australian Food Composition Database, the official reference data published by FSANZ. They also draw on FOODfiles, New Zealand’s national food composition dataset maintained by the New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research and the Ministry of Health. It’s the same data trusted across clinical dietetics, food regulation, and university teaching in both countries.
For hospital and clinical use, Foodworks also includes a specialist Hospital Foods database: 1,200+ products from Abbott, Nestlé Health Science, Nutricia, Fresenius Kabi, and more.
From intake to outcome
Review before the appointment
Your client's food diary syncs from Easy Diet Diary straight into Foodworks. With intake already recorded, the consult is free for counselling, education, and the conversations that actually change behaviour.
Build the meal plan
Start with what they're actually eating and build from there to customise meal plans that hit clinical targets. Foodworks calculates the nutrient data as you go.
Track between appointments
Easy Diet Diary replaces the paper food record and allows your clients to build up a more complete log of their nutritional intake across days or weeks between appointments.
Report and follow up
Meal plan, nutrient breakdown, progress notes. Branded with your practice details. Something your client takes home and follows.
Your clients track. You analyse.
Easy Diet Diary is the companion app that sits between your appointments. Clients scan barcodes, create recipes, and log meals in a couple of taps. The data feeds into your Foodworks workspace, structured and ready to analyse. No transcription. No double-handling.
Free for your clients with no ads. Available on iOS and Android.

Your client data stays in Australia
