This study is looking for adults who are overweight or have obesity and want to lose weight. It compares two ways of tracking your diet over 12 months as part of a digital weight loss program. One group will use a "Simplified Dietary Self-Monitoring" approach, tracking only "Red Zone Foods" (foods high in calories, low in nutrition) with a daily goal. The other group will use "Detailed Dietary Self-Monitoring," tracking all foods and calories with a daily calorie goal. All participants will also receive a core behavioral weight loss intervention. Researchers want to see if one tracking method leads to more weight loss or if they are equally effective. The study aims to enroll 328 participants across the United States.
