About SootheMeal

Why SootheMeal exists and how it works.

Last updated: 2026-10-05

SootheMeal helps people whose appetite swings with their emotions. Some of us eat much more when stressed; some of us can barely eat at all; many of us do both. Most apps only see the first group, and they usually answer with calorie targets.

We take a different approach:

  • No calorie counting, no weigh-ins, no "bad foods". We focus on feelings, hunger signals and steady meal rhythm.
  • Help in the moment. A 30-second check-in tells you whether you are facing body hunger, an emotional urge, or a stressed appetite that has gone quiet, and offers the right tool.
  • Built on well-studied skills: regular eating from CBT for eating problems, urge surfing from mindfulness-based relapse prevention, mindful eating and DBT distress-tolerance skills.
  • Safety first. SootheMeal is a self-care tool. It does not diagnose or treat eating disorders, and crisis resources are always one tap away.
