  Theoretical Justifications Ichose these steps based on what several women surveyed prefer. Many want to be able to participate if they choose to eat at different locations for meals. Many women did not want many extra steps in eating routines - this design is just one step. Many women don’t want difficult forms or documents to fill out to ensure compliance. A quick check off app is simpler. Many women often forget to eat healthily regardless of their intentions. The text reminder will be added trigger and the survey will be a form of follow-up./ Stanford University, Spring 2010 CS377v - Creating Health Habits habits.stanford.edu
