Your appetite has moods too.
Stress can send you to the fridge at midnight, or make you forget lunch for the third day running. SootheMeal helps you notice which one is happening, ride it out, and give your body what it actually needs. No calorie counting. No guilt.
Web, iPhone and Android. Free plan, no card needed.
Anxious, not very hungry, strong urge to snack.
Feelings push appetite in two directions. Most apps only see one.
In the APA's Stress in America survey, 39% of adults said they overate or ate unhealthy food because of stress, and 29% said they skipped a meal. Diet apps treat the first as a willpower problem and ignore the second. SootheMeal is built for both. Source: APA, 2011
Grazing after a hard day. Eating past full. The "I deserve this" spiral.
- Urge Wave. A guided 90-second to 5-minute ride through the craving. Urges rise, peak and pass.
- HALT check. Hungry, angry, lonely or tired? Meet the real need first.
- Eat with attention. Still want it? Eat it slowly, on a plate, without the shame afterwards.
Too anxious to eat. Forgetting lunch. Then the 10 pm crash.
- Meal rhythm. Gentle nudges when it has been too long, timed to your day, never naggy.
- Tiny bites. Easy foods that go down when nothing sounds good: yogurt, toast, warm soup.
- Eat-along. A calm 5-minute timer that keeps you company while you eat a little.
Thirty seconds to know what you need.

A small, kind toolkit for the hard minutes.
