What and how much you chose to eat is important, there is no getting around that fact. Whether the formula is 70% diet + 30% exercise, or 90% diet + 10% exercise for you, nutrition is the most important factor in weight loss and maintaining health.
By now you may well have heard about activity tracking devices, but what about eating-activity tracking technology? Many of us need help watching what we eat just as much as we need a Fitbit to help us be more mindful when it comes to our overall well-being!
There are apps that exist such as MyFitnessPal or Lose it! where you are able to enter in specifically the amount and types of food you consume, adequately tracking the calories you ingest (and paired with a fitness tracker, you can estimate even closer to your ideal daily caloric intake).
Does counting calories seem too confusing, intimidating, or time consuming, but you are still looking for an answer to help you better monitor your own food intake? There may be a solution for you! Dr. Adam Hoover and Dr. Eric Muth developed a wearable technology at Clemson University in South Carolina that not only counts your steps as you take them, but also counts the number of bites you take as you eat!
Just as wearing a fitness tracker helps us to be mindful of our daily activities and movements, the bite counter was created to aid awareness of our daily food consumption! This gadget provides effective feedback for those wanting to become more conscious of their mindless & over-eating habits, but don't want the hassle of actually counting each calorie.
Obviously a bite of salad and a bite of a cheeseburger are different calorically, but for those who are looking to begin living healthier, a bite counter could be an important tool to help implement small changes that could have a lasting impact on their lives.
