Lose a gallon of fat per month.

Calorie tracking is proven to lose weight.

Multiple scientific studies show that reducing calorie intake by calorie counting is a safe and effective method to lose up to 2lbs of fat per week, which is a gallon of fat per month!

So what's the problem?

Scanning barcodes, weighing food, and searching databases turns eating into homework. Trackers like MyFitnessPal make food stressful instead of enjoyable. They work, but they're just not sustainable for most people.

I lost 30lbs using apps like MyFitnessPal, but immediately gained it all back when I stopped tracking.

I made MealByMeal to make calorie tracking take zero effort so I wouldn't stop tracking. And it worked!

You just text what you eat to a phone number and the food is automatically tracked for you, so it takes seconds to log a meal.

Now I barely think about tracking. I'm eating healthier than ever, and I'm on track to my target weight!
