New research from Flinders University has found a correlation between fitness tracking apps and disordered eating, body image concerns and excessive exercise.

Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist and Neuroscientist, Paul Taylor told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "What they found was a correlation, and that's an important word here between disordered eating and particularly using the diet tracker app."

"I think if you believe that you do have a problem with disordered eating, then it might be time to give these apps a miss."
