Metabolic diets

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.
