![]() And though water tracking is one of the more traditional features of a health app, it's an important one. I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that I’m not drinking enough water, and BetterMe confirmed it. No matter what you’re struggling with - be it winter depression like I do or feeling good in your body - this app sticks with you from beginning to end. The idea that it is possible to rewire my brain and rid myself of negative habits has given me a lot of encouragement, especially during a time when I need to challenge my thinking and take my mind in a better direction. In the chapter, “Your Core Beliefs Inside And Out,” one line really stuck with me: “The more negative our core beliefs are, the more negative our automatic thoughts will be.” The app does a great job tying together healthy eating strategies with mental health mantras. It also includes practical advice on nutrition - something that’s often lacking from calorie-tracking apps - in the form of daily “chapters.” In the “Calories Are Weird: There’s A Way To Feel Fuller On Less,” chapter, it emphasizes that “Fewer calories don’t equal less food." For me, that translated into swapping meat for plant-based proteins and trading plain yogurt for Greek yogurt - both choices leaving me completely satisfied. The app sets a realistic number of daily calories based on your personal goal and provides a space to enter your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. If calorie tracking is a top priority for you, BetterMe does it particularly well. Dieting and nutrition advice doesn't have to make me feel awful. Read on to discover what I’ve learned since downloading the app. I’ve used a lot of health apps over the years for workouts and nutrition tracking, but BetterMe is a one-stop shop. There’s even one-on-ones with a coach who has your best interests in mind. There’s a glossary of nutritional values for common foods, plus a water tracker and sleep tracker. ![]() Instead of intense programs or easy-to-fail workouts, this approach focuses on personalized solutions to mastering healthy habits.
