These behaviors will become long lasting habits. Learn about Foods: You can view the foods or ingredients they tracked into food group categories. Organized data helps the user to understand which ingredients are dietary sources of proteins, vegetables, fruits, starches, dairy, and healthy fats. You might learn that both pasta and potatoes are dietary sources of starches, or learn that beans are a great source of two food groups: protein and starches, which may influence a user to eat more beans as a budget-friendly ingredient. Learn your Eating Routines: This information tracks meal events, or when meals occur. While tracking meal events, users may recognize that they have a fixed eating routine, having meals at the same time each day, or that there is no pattern, having meals at random times throughout the week. This insight may help users monitor the recommendations for a time-sensitive meal plan like carbohydrate management for stabilizing blood sugar levels, or weight restoration/maintenance, or a plan for athletes that support energy levels and muscle recovery.
