A lot of people ask me “what is Eat.ly?” and my fastest answer is a social food blogging photo site. We say in our tagline Meal Tracking and Social Food Discover
Although there is a lot more you can read about in our Eat.ly Frequently Asked Questions, I thought I would take the time to sharpen my elevator pitch;
Eat.ly is a great way to share meal photos with friends.
Eat.ly is a fast way to show your friends your food photos on Twitter.
Eat.ly is a great way to see what you ate in the past, and make a healthy decision about what to eat today. For example if you know that you ate spaghetti with meatballs last night – what will you eat today?
There is a quick equation that I use called “Data + Pictures = Change” which can be defined as the more information you have, plus visual meal photos should give you the information you need to make a better and healthier eating decision in the future. Along with tracking what you ate for your own reasons, knowing that you are not keeping up good habits is helpful. One of the reasons we built Eat.ly is simply because we could not remember either.
While some people are using Eat.ly for dieting, tracking gluten free food photos, or for share meal photos on Twitter, wee see Eat.ly as a helpful utility in a world of camera enabled smart phones.
