About this app

Ditch the tedious calorie counting to get (and stay) healthy once and for all. Foodstand is an app that helps you eat healthier through our fun, community-powered Good Eating Challenges. Challenges are based on basic good eating principles that apply to everyone. Nearly every Registered Dietician, Physician, and healthcare professional will agree that we’ll all be better off if we stop counting calories and instead focus on:

- Eating less processed food
- Eating more plants
- Eating fewer animal products
- Eating more mindfully

If you, like many of us, will only stop eating junk food or fast food when someone pries it from your hands despite knowing veggies are better, you know old habits die hard. That’s why Foodstand Challenges are designed based on the latest in habit building research and behavioral therapy to ensure you’ll be successful, and will enjoy the process along the way.

Top features:

- Fun challenges to help you build eating habits associated with reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and a healthier planet
- Simple 2-second draw-a-check-mark check-ins with fun, positive responses. No need to log every morsel of food or track calories. You can add optional info to keep a food diary if you’d like, but it’s not required.
- Daily motivational reminders and tips based on your progress, so you’ll have support to stay on track.
- Each challenge has easy levels and free passes because we believe in progress over perfection. For example, Level II is a 3 day challenge and comes with a free pass, so you don’t need to go ‘cold turkey,’ and you’re more likely to stick with it.
- Community support — you’ll be able share ideas, ask questions, and learn from thousands of others doing the same challenge as you. Soon, you’ll also be able to add a buddy to a challenge.
- Each challenge comes with a Guidebook that includes tips, recipes, a shopping list, and more details on why this habit is a good idea.
- Long term tracking on your profile so you’ll see how you compare to others, and how you’re doing over time.

Some of our first challenges include:

- Cut back on soda
- No added sugar
- Eat 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day
- Eat less meat
- Go mostly Vegan
- Cook dinner more often
- Eat at least 1 distraction-free meal a day
- Drink alcohol less often each week

You won’t find any fad diets or crash cleanses on Foodstand because we know those don’t work. You’ll only find challenges to help you build good eating habits that will lead to long-term health.

Our good eating challenges have been designed in collaboration with several Registered Dietitians, Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, Meatless Monday, and several others.
