The newly launched app 'Mityba365' aims to assist individuals in monitoring their daily nutrition, thereby promoting healthier eating habits. It allows users to create a personalized profile where they can input essential information such as gender, birth date, height, weight, and activity level. Based on this data, the app calculates the body mass index (BMI) and the recommended daily caloric intake, providing tailored recommendations to users. This innovative tool is vital for those seeking to improve their dietary choices and ensure a balanced diet.

Dr. Roma Bartkevičiūtė, an advisor at the Public Health Innovation Center of the Hygiene Institute, emphasizes the importance of practical tools like 'Mityba365' to help individuals understand the nutritional values of their food and gradually shift their eating habits towards healthier options. In Lithuania, a concerning statistic highlights that over half of the population is overweight, underscoring the necessity for such initiatives that promote awareness and education regarding nutrition.

By leveraging technology, 'Mityba365' not only simplifies the process of tracking food consumption but also plays a pivotal role in cultivating awareness about healthy lifestyle choices among the Lithuanian population. With the increasing health risks associated with poor diet, this app represents a proactive approach to fostering healthier communities in Lithuania.
