80Bites a day… who says that’s all you need? The Harvard School of Public Health, the U.S. Government, registered dieticians, weight loss programs and smart chefs, to name a few!

 

The 80Bites App goes hand in hand with the 80Bites Diet. The first step in managing your weight is determining how much you’re actually eating each day.

 

This sleek, simple, “pedometer for your mouth” makes it easy to monitor your consumption. Just tap the screen in rhythm with bites eaten. Within one week, you’ll know if you’re overeating. You’ll also be on the road to understanding your body’s hunger cues, so portion control will come naturally.

"When we discovered Quantified Self, a community of self-trackers with the motto "Self Knowledge Through Numbers", it was love at first "site" (see what we did there?!). Whether it's sleep, medicine, mood or money... Quantified Self has a tool to keep you in check. We were happy to join the QS community when the 80Bites app was featured on the site last year. We got a shout out recently from Quantified Self aficionado Sean McColgan on his blog, BodyHacker. We love nothing more than a good 80Bites success story, but when it comes from a fellow self-tracking enthusiast, we're even more excited! People often express initial reservations about bite counting. They're worried that self-tracking will become too time-consuming, and may take some of the fun out of an otherwise enjoyable experience (i.e., tearing into a 5 course steak dinner). What newbie 80Biters soon realize, however, is that there is freedom in knowing your limits. Before you know it, the act of counting becomes unnecessary - you've trained your body and mind and developed an (unconscious) positive habit. Track on, everyone!
