No calorie counting. No food scale. No banned foods. Just one simple answer before you eat: how many normal bites, or spoonfuls, of this food make a reasonable portion for your goal. Then tap along as you eat.

Two quick choices. They only change the size of a bite and the size of your day, nothing else.

One tap per bite. No typing, no searching, no weighing. When the ring fills up, that is your portion. Registered members can save the day's progress at the bottom of this step.

Eat normally for a few days and just count your bites at each meal. Then eat the same foods, but take 20 to 30 percent fewer bites. That is it. In the Brigham Young University study below, that one habit was enough for about 4 pounds in a month, with no other diet changes.
The number works better when your brain has time to notice the food.
Bite counting is not a guess. It has been studied, and the numbers in this app come from that research.
Clemson University
Researchers measuring real meals found an average bite of mixed food comes to about 17 calories for men and about 11 calories for women. That is the base number behind every food in this app, adjusted up for dense foods like pizza and down for light ones like salad.
Brigham Young University · Dr. Josh West
People counted their daily bites for a week, then simply cut that count by 20 to 30 percent. They lost about 4 pounds in a month, eating the same foods, with no other diet changes.
Six-month bite counter study
Over six months, people using bite counters lost about 6.6 pounds on average. A group using a full food-tracking app lost more, and that is the honest trade: tracking everything works harder, but counting bites is the habit many people can actually keep.
One honest note. Bites are not all the same size, and neither are spoonfuls, plates, or days. Everything here is a practical estimate to build awareness, not an exact measurement and not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, or you are pregnant, under 18, or being treated for anything related to eating, talk to your doctor before using bite targets to change how you eat.
