Summary

This study will pilot test the use of two mHealth devices. One is called the Bite Counter and one is called a MisFit. The study will be among a sample of participants (n = 50) to monitor their eating and sleeping habits. The Bite Counter is a wearable watch-like device that detects and records when an individual has taken a bite of food. The benefit of using the Bite Counter is that it places a low-burden on participants to self-monitor their dietary intake. The MisFit is a commercial device that tracks an individual's sleeping and activity.

The purpose of this study is to (1) find out how the Bite Counter calculates daily bites taken on a vegan diet compared to an omnivorous diet, (2) examine differences in sleep and activity between individuals following a vegan diet compared to an omnivorous diet and (3) get feedback from users before the device is tested in larger studies.
