Nowadays, digital resources are replacing traditional methods of recording food consumption. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze a sample of United States of America (USA) residents to determine if the usage of any meal tracker platform to record food intake was related to an improved body mass index (BMI). An analytical cross-sectional study that included 896 subjects with an Instagram account who enrolled to participate in an anonymous online survey was performed. Any meal tracker platform used to record food intake over the last month was employed by 34.2% of the sample. A total of 85.3% of the participants who had tracked their food intake were women (p < 0.001), and 33.3% (p = 0.018) had a doctorate degree. Participants who used any meal tracker platform also had higher BMIs (median: 24.9 (Q1: 22.7–Q3: 27.9), p < 0.001), invested more hours a week on Instagram looking over nutrition or physical activity (median: 2.0 (Q1: 1.0–Q3: 4.0), p = 0.028) and performed more minutes per week of strong physical activity (median: 240.0 (Q1: 135.0–Q3: 450.0), p = 0.007). Conclusions: USA residents with an Instagram account who had been using any meal tracker platform to record food intake were predominantly highly educated women. They had higher BMIs despite the fact they were engaged in stronger exercise and invested more hours a week on Instagram looking over nutrition or physical activity. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.7 2022 PHYSICS, APPLIED 78 / 160 = 0.488 2022 Q2 T2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 42 / 90 = 0.467 2022 Q2 T2 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 100 / 178 = 0.562 2022 Q3 T2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 208 / 343 = 0.606 2022 Q3 T2 0.492 2022 Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes 2022 Q2 Materials Science (miscellaneous) 2022 Q2 Engineering (miscellaneous) 2022 Q2 Instrumentation 2022 Q2 Process Chemistry and Technology 2022 Q3 Computer Science Applications 2022 Q3 4.5 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Vidal-Peracho, María Concepción Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1444-7949 Lucha-López, María Orosia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9930-3903 Hidalgo-García, César Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7667-2178 Monti-Ballano, Sofía Universidad de Zaragoza Márquez-Gonzalvo, Sergio Universidad de Zaragoza Tricás-Moreno, José Miguel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3583-5206 1007 610 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
