“…A complicating factor for research concerning calorie‐counting and fitness‐tracking technologies is that they vary in their functionality, such as providing different information (e.g., calorie intake, steps), or influencing behavior in different ways (e.g., facilitating self‐monitoring, rewarding behavior; Lyons, Lewis, Mayrsohn, & Rowland, ). Reducing this complexity, three studies have focused on the use of one application, MyFitnessPal , in relation to eating psychopathology (Jospe et al, ; Levinson, Fewell, & Brosof, ; Linardon & Messer, ). The main functions of MyFitnessPal enable users to set goals concerning weight, and calorie intake and macronutrient intake, and assess their goal progress by (a) estimating and tracking their calorie intake and nutrient intake (e.g., consulting a food database, scanning barcodes, creating their own entries for foods); (b) estimating and tracking calorie expenditure (e.g., logging exercises, tracking steps); and (c) recording their weight with optional photos of their body (Under Armour Inc., ).…”
