Why is it important to track?
Keeping track of what you eat raises your awareness of your eating patterns. It can help you learn from the choices you make. You can also better monitor your progress toward a goal. And if you’re working with a coach, you’ll get more personalized tips during your sessions.
What key features will help me track food?
These features make it easier for you to track what you eat. They allow for greater accuracy and detailed food entries.

- Barcode scanning: Scan a barcode to have the nutrition details filled in for you.
- Food database: Select common and branded foods from a database of more than 2 million foods.

I forgot to track a meal. Can I still add it?

Can I add foods in advance?
You can add food items up to two weeks in advance. This is a great feature if you like to plan your meals ahead of time.
Should I track beverages?
Beverages, even water, are important to track. Often drinks will add calories and, in some cases, sugar to your diet. Even though water doesn’t have calories, tracking helps ensure you’ll drink enough.
Why are photos and barcode scanning important?
Both are a quick and convenient way to track the foods you eat. You’ll also get the chance to add notes on how you felt after eating, how much you enjoyed a food, or if you made or prepared it a certain way. Note anything you think would be helpful in the future. If you don’t have time to note all the details, a photo or barcode scan can help capture that for you.
