There’s a ton of nutrition advice out there, but so much of it is confusing, misleading, or just plain wrong. Knowing what works (and what doesn’t) for your body simplifies everything.

Our philosophy is to not deprive yourself. We believe in tracking what you eat so that you’re aware, with a goal to fit in as many beneficial nutrients as possible. We want you to feel your best.

Small changes to your diet will lead to the biggest changes and in order to recognize what changes can be made, we need to track our meals. We suggest downloading MyFitnessPal. It’s a free app that allows you to track your meals. The most important part is to be honest about what you’re eating (and drinking, too!).

Downloading and Setting Up MyFitnessPal

  1. Open the App Store and search for MyFitnessPal. Tap GET. The app will download and install.

  2. When you open the app for the first time, tap SIGN UP.

  3. Choose either to SIGN UP WITH EMAIL or CONTINUE WITH FACEBOOK. Sign up with your choice.

  4. You are now required to enter data about yourself. Over the next five screens you must record:

Your weight-related goal

Activity level

Gender, birth date, location

Height and weight

Weekly goal

After completing each screen, press the arrow (iOS) or NEXT (Android) at the top right.

5. That’s it! Your account has been created, and you’re ready to go.
