How MyFitnessPal Ruined My Relationship With Food
TW: calories, disordered eating, body dysmorphia.
I started as a casual gym-goer.
I experimented with weights, finished with cardio. Within a month, I bought my first bag of protein powder. At this stage, I decided to read up on how to maximise my gym performance. During my research, all the articles I read and videos I watched emphasised how the right diet was vital to advance in the gym. There were numerous recommendations for MyFitnessPal, an app that tracks diet and exercise. I downloaded it, keen to understand my food intake better.
