Thanks to smart phones, food logging or food journaling or keeping track of what you eat has shown to help prevent and stop over-eating. The GOQii app has helped its players to portion control their diet and eat healthier trhough the food log. While, the app has made it easy for the GOQii coaches to track what their players are eating and give them appropriate advice.
Speaking on this new development, Vishal Gondal, CEO and Founder, GOQii said “One of the feedback that we constantly received from our players was how it was cumbersome to type food intake on a daily basis and log. ‘Referee’ will now make it easy for the players to just click a picture and log food to share with coach and friends and making it fun and exciting to meet their health goals”.
