    Passive vs active engagement.

    These plates are a passive, very visual reminder. A tracker app requires you actively use the app, and not consciously/subconsciously underestimate portions.

    Neither is a holistic solution, both require buy-in, each is going to have different effectiveness for different people.

      While it’s true that multiple strategies can be helpful, I don’t think the tiny “skinny jeans” circle on that plate is anything but a harmful idea.
