Plantiful30 helps you track the different plants you eat each week — a simple way to support plant diversity and build healthier eating habits without calorie counting or macros. Research suggests that eating a wider variety of plants — around 30 per week — may support gut diversity and overall wellbeing. Plantiful30 makes it easy to turn that idea into a realistic weekly habit. No calories. No macros. Just plants. What you can do with Plantiful30: • Track unique plants you eat each week • Aim for 30 different plants using simple plant points • Quickly log foods by category (fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs & spices, mushrooms) • See your weekly progress and plant diversity at a glance • Explore a growing plant library to discover new foods • Build sustainable, long-term habits over time Each plant counts once per week — encouraging variety, not restriction. Plantiful30 is not about perfection or strict rules — it’s about gently nudging your diet toward more variety, week after week. A calmer approach to food tracking: • No calorie counting • No macro tracking • No weigh-ins • No food guilt Plantiful30 focuses on what you add, not what you take away. Many people refer to tracking plant diversity as counting plant points. With Plantiful30, each unique plant earns you a point toward your weekly goal of 30 — helping you to simply visualise progress without turning food into complicated numbers.
