MyNetDiary offers a wide range of possibilities for trainers and fitness professionals to enrich your coaching practice and increase client engagement. It could be as simple as recommending MyNetDiary apps for your clients or as cutting-edge as linking with clients via Professional Connect for complete insight into clients' nutrition, exercise routines, and key health and fitness metrics.
What keeps clients tracking
In MyNetDiary's peer-reviewed 2026 study of 5,132 users who logged food regularly and weighed in monthly (Journal of Medical Internet Research), each additional food-tracking day per week was associated with 35 percent higher odds of losing at least 5 percent of body weight, and users whose longest logging streak passed 90 days lost 11.55 percent on average against 4.21 percent for streaks of a week or less. The study shows association, not cause. For coaches, it shows a strong association between greater tracking consistency and better six-month outcomes. Streak tracking was added to the app in summer 2026, and Professional Connect lets you see a client's log and trends as they happen. Independent researchers have also tested the data your clients log: in a 2026 validation study, MyNetDiary's mean energy estimate came within 5 kcal of the reference and it received the highest quality score of 17 apps (Nutrition and Health).
