What are Food Triggers?

Many of us are emotional eaters, so we've added Food Triggers to the website to help.

We eat for many reasons other than being hungry. If your diet goes off track, you can tag the culprit food with the trigger that caused you to eat – for example you were feeling stressed, or perhaps you were just bored.

How it works:

1. Look for the emoticon above your search results when adding a food to your diary and select your Food Trigger.
2. Add the food to your diary.
3. Click on the emoticon in your food diary to get helpful tips and practical advice on how to manage that trigger better next time.
