The SnackBreak Challenge is a personal commitment to reduce unhealthy snacking by building awareness one decision at a time. Choose from a 30, 60, 90, or 120-day challenge, or create your own custom goal.

Each time you're tempted to snack, simply log the moment in SnackBreak. Every unhealthy snack you resist helps you build your streak, track your progress, and move one step closer to completing your challenge.

The challenge isn't about being perfect—it's about staying honest and consistent. If you choose to eat an unhealthy snack during your challenge, you can restart and begin building your streak again. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn more about your habits and continue making progress.

Whether your goal is reducing unhealthy snacks, supporting weight-loss efforts, or simply becoming more mindful, the SnackBreak Challenge is designed to help you build healthier habits that last.

No. SnackBreak isn’t a diet, meal plan, or food restriction program. It’s designed to help you become more aware of your habits so you can make intentional choices.

When you feel the urge to snack, open the app and log the moment. Whether you resist or give in, SnackBreak helps you recognize patterns, build awareness, and track progress over time.

SnackBreak provides estimates based on the snacks you log and whether you resisted or ate them.

When you resist a snack, we estimate the calories you may have avoided based on average serving sizes for that food. These estimates are then used to calculate potential long-term impact.

Potential weight savings are estimated using the commonly referenced approximation that about 3,500 calories equals roughly one pound (0.45 kg) of body weight. Individual results will vary based on many factors including metabolism, diet, activity level, and overall health.

SnackBreak is designed to help build awareness of snacking habits, not to predict actual weight loss or provide medical advice.
