The hardest part of tracking food is continuing after the first week. A little friendly competition can help.
Five ways to rank
- All Time: the most meals logged overall
- Monthly: the most meals logged this month, so everyone gets a fresh start
- Top Score: the highest total daily score for the month
- Best Streak: the longest run of days ever
- Now Streak: the longest run happening right now
Why streaks work
A streak gives you a small reason to log today, even when the day went badly. That matters, because the days you would rather forget are often the most useful to record.
The community feed
You can share meals and see what others are eating, with the photo, calories, carbs, protein and fats. It is a practical source of meal ideas.
Keep it healthy
A leaderboard should encourage you, not pressure you. Log what you really ate and never eat less just to improve a score.
