Hey PH!
Most people who get flagged for high cholesterol open a calorie counter. That's the wrong tool — their doctor said "watch the saturated fat," not "eat less."
Calorie apps are built for weight loss. Hey Val is built for the moment after the lab result: tracking the three things that actually move your LDL numbers.
- Saturated fat against the AHA's daily target (13g)
- Inflammation score based on the Dietary Inflammatory Index
- Ultra-processed food percentage (NOVA Group 4)
Snap a meal. The AI identifies every item and does the math. No database searching, no calorie guilt, no streaks.
Free in beta on iOS. Would love to hear from anyone who's navigated the "watch your cholesterol" conversation with their doctor — what did you actually change?
