Too much effort
23 min/day
User challenge
Traditional logging can still take 15-23 minutes per day. Search, scroll, portion dropdown, repeat.
What helps
Type what you ate. Ziva finds the food and amount without menu screens.
Skip food search and portion math. Just log it and move on.
Ziva is free. Use your existing ChatGPT or Claude plan.
Why most people stop tracking
People quit when logging takes too long, feels unreliable, or does not fit real life. The research shows this clearly, and we use it to shape how Ziva works.

Hard to trust the numbers
39% restart
User challenge
After users stop tracking, only 39% resume. Doubt the numbers once and consistency breaks fast.
What helps
Each log shows the USDA match, serving assumption, and macro math.

All-or-nothing pressure
Week 1 → 3 drop
User challenge
All-or-nothing tracking creates pressure. One missed day turns into a lost week for many users.
What helps
Quick logging makes it easier to keep going after an imperfect day.
Signal 04
Emotional drag
Guilt → dropout
User challenge
Tracking often feels like compliance. Miss one entry and the app feels punitive instead of useful.
What helps
Ziva keeps the tone neutral and helps fill gaps so you can continue.
