Anything that helps you stay well and healthy is important to us, and thankfully our smartphones are with us all the time and can be a great tool in keeping you on track with:

  • Weight loss journey and progress
  • New ideas for workouts and exercising
  • Healthy meal ideas
  • Goal setting
  • And so much more!

We get excited about healthy lifestyle apps that support and motivate you to create a healthy habit or help you modify and improve an existing one, or track and prompt you to move or do something.

Here are the top five healthy and active lifestyle apps that we love right now:

1. VegEze by the CSIRO 

VegEze suggests easy and fun ways to get in the healthy habit of eating more veggies, starting with three at dinner. It also helps you track your daily veggie intake so you know how well you’re doing.

2. Runkeeper

This app is more than just about tracking your runs. It’s a top running app with a community that helps people get out the door and stick with running. And if you’re not a runner that’s ok, because it will track any physical activity like a walk, hike or dance – just to name a few! You'll get a clear view of your training in real time that not only tracks activity, but encourages you to get active more often.

3. Headspace: Meditation 

If you’re trying to build in a meditation habit into your everyday life, Headspace might be for you. It aims to improve your day by teaching you the essentials of living a healthier life through the life-changing skills of meditation and mindfulness.

4. Habitbull

You can smash through your goals with this app. It will help keep you on track with a healthy habit or goal, and it can even help with breaking a bad habit like smoking, drinking or nail biting. It can help you keep organised, keep track of all your habits, routines and repeated to-dos! You’ll even get notified whenever you need to do something important.

5. Easy Diet Diary

We love this app because it’s an Australia-made diet tracker and calorie counter that’s loaded with Australian foods. A new feature of the app is the ability to take photos as a reminder to enter foods later, or simply take them as a visual record of memorable moments. You’ll be able to record and easily track your food intake, see the results as you go and check the energy in the foods you eat as well as major nutrients and track your progress.
