Sounds interesting, and I'll probably try it when it comes out for Android. Though at the minute I am just inputting my calorie intake into Samsung Health and making sure I don't eat more than 1500 calories a day (weekdays anyway, it all goes to hell a bit at weekends). Nevertheless I lose about a lb a week so the naieve approach seems to work. I presume if I don't tailor my food intake appropriately I could be in danger of malnutrition.

I guess my question is, what does the app offer above and beyond calorie counting?

We're not actually a calorie counter at all. In fact, we kind of are against it. We provide weekly nutritional programs, let you order the groceries you need from the programs and then we check in with you daily to make sure you're sticking with it. Just like a dietitian or nutritionist would. People fall out of love with trackers and calorie counters very quickly so we wanted to create something that was to the point, provided value and didn't require you to log "225g of chicken breast" every time you had one :)
