Start Simple with MyPlate: A Lifestyle App for Healthy Eating Habits

Start Simple with MyPlate is a free lifestyle app designed by USDA Food Nutrition Service for Android users who want to develop healthy eating habits. The app offers a variety of food goals within food groups such as Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein Foods, and Dairy. Users can also use the “Pick for me!” feature for ready-made goals and tips. The app syncs with smartwatches, or users can do it all on their mobile devices.

The app allows users to see daily progress in each food group as they meet their goals. It provides simple how-to tips to help users meet their goals, select options for notifications and reminders, and visit the MyPlate 101 section for more information about healthy eating. The app also allows users to earn badges as they complete food group goals. These badges include first goal complete, daily-streaks, food group badges, and the ultimate MyPlate badge. Users can post their badges on social media to share their success and encourage others.

Furthermore, the app offers challenges to keep users motivated and try new goals. The challenges section displays upcoming challenges and shows users’ progress. They can earn unique badges that are only available from completing these challenges. Pick goals, see progress, and celebrate success starting today. Download Start Simple with MyPlate!
