Answer:

False and False

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if it isnt right but heres an explanation:

When someone monitors there weight and calorie intake it can actually increase them to over eat. With app if your too focused about your calorie numbers It takes you away from knowing a human hunger schedual. This is like how someone is hungrey in the morning and eats breakfest than they eat lunch than dinner. Instead a persons body using the app forgets that schedual and is constanly hungrey all the time and this leads to eating disorders.

Have a good day :)
