Please be aware that monitoring activity and food intake can inadvertently validate disordered eating and exercise attitudes/behaviors among vulnerable people. These apps have the risk of exacerbating obsessive and self-critical tendencies in some individuals, possibly inducing increasingly rigid behaviors or feelings of guilt/shame when one fails to reach goals or make progress. Further research is needed to clearly identify whether tracking devices may be helpful or harmful for certain individuals - it’s important to think about how often you’re using tracking tools and your reason for doing so.
