Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app called FoodImage could help people improve their diet and reduce household food waste. 46 healthy adults used the app to track what they ate and threw away, while some received smart tips on replacing less healthy foods with fruits and vegetables. The goal was to see if these strategies actually led to healthier eating and less waste over 4 weeks.
