ParrotPal is a UK food and protein tracking app, founded by Welshman Scott Flear and based in London and Cambridge.
How we work
- Aggregates only. Every group shown has at least 50 members, and no share rests on fewer than 10 people.
- Group sizes are given in rounded words, never exact small counts.
- These are patterns in what members logged, not causes, and app members aren’t a random sample of the UK.
