The page the user is on is visible (via highlighting) on the left on the menu bar. Unfortunately, this may not always be visible, however, i the user has a lot of items listed and scrolls down to look at the bottom of the list. The links on the menu also have a good information scent by listing the actions that can be taken after clicking on that link. Then menu bar will be colored differently than the rest of the page, but an additional afforance, such as a clickable texture, would also be useful. The same is true for the tabs on food entry page. Text boxes will include a cursor when selected, to make it clear which box it being edited when. Food stored and budget are only displayed as list in this design, which could be problematic for those who are visual learners.
