NEW ORLEANS – Ochsner Eat Fit has officially relaunched its free mobile app just in time for summer. Summers in New Orleans are typically slow for restaurants and other businesses, but the season also offers a great opportunity for diners to explore healthy options while supporting their community. The updated Eat Fit app makes it easy for health-conscious food lovers to find nutritious, flavorful meals at restaurants throughout Louisiana, while also supporting local businesses when they need it most.
With user-friendly features and a sleek new look, the Eat Fit app helps users find nearby restaurant partners offering dishes that meet the Eat Fit nutritional standards—developed by Ochsner Health’s team of registered dietitians. App users can also access detailed nutrition facts, recipe ideas, cooking videos and even curated grocery guides to support healthy habits both at home and when dining out.
“Summer is a great time to explore our incredible food culture, and with the free Eat Fit mobile app, people can do it in a way that supports both their wellbeing and their community,” said Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, director of Ochsner Eat Fit. “Whether we’re traveling or staying local, the app helps us find Eat Fit-approved dishes that are nutritious and full of flavor.”
Eat Fit encourages residents to use the app as a go-to tool for planning meals out, discovering new restaurants or finding inspiration for balanced meals at home. As restaurants often experience a dip in business during summer months, using the app is a win-win—promoting wellness while giving local restaurants a boost.
The Eat Fit app is available for free download at www.ochsner.org/eat-fit-app and on both Apple and Android devices.
