Summary

Lifestyle interventions are effective at producing modest weight loss. One of the strongest predictors of weight loss is food tracking, which involves logging all food and beverage consumed each day in an effort to stay within a daily calorie goal. Standard lifestyle interventions prescribe daily food tracking for the length of the program which can range from 3-24 months. This can be a taxing prescription that is not feasible to do long term for many people. The purpose of this pilot feasibility randomized trial is to test the feasibility of 3 tracking prescriptions during an 8 week digital weight loss intervention: 1) tracking daily, 2) tracking two weeks on and one week off, 3) tracking every other week. Feasibility is defined as tracking prescription compliance, burden, acceptability, and perceived efficacy, and tracking self-efficacy. Diet tracking will be evaluated one month after the intervention ends so that groups can be compared on diet tracking maintenance.
