MyNetDiary is a mobile app and website for calorie counting and nutrition tracking.[1] It has been reviewed by The New York Times[2] and Women's Health,[1] among other publications.
History
[edit]MyNetDiary was founded in December 2005 by Sergey Oreshko and Vasili Smaliak.[3] In an interview with Refresh Miami, Oreshko said he was influenced by the release of Google Maps and its interactive interface when thinking about how nutrition tracking software could work.[3]
The service launched on the web in 2007 and as a mobile app in 2008.[4] According to Refresh Miami, the company is based in Boca Raton, Florida, and had about 30 employees across the United States and Europe in 2025.[3] The same report said MyNetDiary had more than 28 million registered users as of 2025.[3]
In August 2025, the company launched PlateAI, a separate app focused on AI-based food logging and nutrition coaching.[5]
Reception
[edit]A 2013 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine examined 30 popular weight-loss apps for their use of behavioral strategies from the CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program. MyNetDiary received the highest score in the group, at 65%. The study also found it had no tools for stress management, relapse prevention, or nutrition-label reading.[6]
In a 2019 review published by Women's Health, registered dietitian Jacqueline Gomes Sgherza called the app user-friendly and a good fit for people new to food tracking. She also stressed that results depend on accurate logging.[1]
The New York Times reviewed the app alongside other calorie trackers in 2014.[2] It has also appeared in rankings by Forbes Health,[7] U.S. News & World Report,[8] and Today's Dietitian.[9]
A 2025 systematic review published in the journal Body Image found that users of diet and fitness tracking apps reported higher levels of disordered eating symptoms than non-users. The authors noted that most evidence was cross-sectional and that no causal conclusions could be drawn.[10]
