One More Nibble

Small, safe steps towards new foods

One More Nibble helps autistic and neurodiverse eaters, and the people who care for them, widen a small set of safe foods one small step at a time.

How it works

Start with what already feels safe

Feeding therapists call it food chaining: take a food someone reliably eats, find one that is almost the same, and change one thing at a time. The app does the matching for you.

  1. Say what you already eat

    Search for a few safe foods. Even two or three is enough to begin.

  2. Meet one new food at a time

    Each suggestion is close to something you already accept in taste, texture, temperature and smell.

  3. Say how it really went

    Liked it or didn't. Either answer helps, and the next suggestions follow from it.

Know a food before you try it

Every food is described in plain words: how it feels in the mouth, how it tastes, how it is served and how strongly it smells. No surprises on the plate.

  • One food on screen at a time, never a wall of choices
  • No timers, streaks or pressure. "Not interested" is always a fine answer
  • 330 everyday foods, each with its own picture
The food map: accepted foods such as pear slices and apple slices in the middle, joined by lines to similar foods like grapes, melon chunks and blueberries one step away.

Watch your food map grow

Foods you accept sit in the middle. Similar foods sit one small step away. As you try things, the map fills in, and you can see how far you have come.

  • See it as a picture, or read it as a list
  • Tap any food to see what it is close to
The To try list, holding foods saved for later with buttons to record whether each one was liked.

Keep a list, go at your own pace

Save foods you would like to try. When you have really tried one, say whether you liked it and add a few words if you want, such as "crusts off" or "only when warm".

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us once, and it applies everywhere

Before you see a single food, the app asks about allergies and ways of eating. A food that conflicts with what you declare is never shown: not as a suggestion, not on the map, not in search.

The 14 major allergens

Milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, soya, sesame, fish and the rest, each with how serious it is for you.

Ways of eating

Vegetarian, vegan, halal and kosher. If we are not sure a food fits, we leave it out.

Always check the packaging yourself. Food information in the app is a general guide. It cannot account for cross-contamination, recipe changes or specific brands, so read the ingredients before eating or serving any food.

Who it is for

For the eater, or for the person helping

For yourself

Adults and teenagers managing their own eating, in their own time, with nobody watching.

For someone you look after

Parents and carers can run the account for a child. For anyone under 18, a parent or carer gives consent first.

Your data stays yours

Download everything we hold as a file you can read or print, and delete your account whenever you like.

A helper, not a treatment

One More Nibble is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor, dietitian or feeding therapist. Many people use tools like this alongside professional support.
