What we learned from a million meals

Why do people eat? Is it hunger? Is out of boredom? Or social pressure? Let’s find out.

We looked at anonymized data from a million meals saved by the YouAte community to see why they ate, where they ate most often, how their meals were prepared, and how it made them feel afterwards?

The results were fascinating.

It’s exciting to see what choices people are making when it comes to eating. Little changes in these habits can go a long way when it comes to your health. We will do this again soon to see how the seasons are changing our eating patterns.

We also analyzed the progress that a random group of users have made over a 4 month period. Read more about our finding here.
