Every day users can select goals to work towards across all five food group areas: fruits, vegetables, protein, grains, and dairy. Once goals have been accomplished. badges are awarded and users can track their progress overtime. Healthy eating can help individuals achieve a healthier lifestyle and the Start Simple app is a great tool to start making small sustainable changes. Check it out here!
