About

Hey Val is a free iOS app for people who've just been told their cholesterol is high and need a calm, practical way to respond.Instead of calorie counting or complex diet tracking, Hey Val focuses on one thing: saturated fat — the dietary lever with the most consistent effect on LDL cholesterol. Users photograph their meals, and the app estimates saturated fat content without requiring manual database searches. A single daily number is shown against the AHA's recommended target, and weekly trends are tracked so users can bring real data to their next doctor's visit.Three core features:• Snap a meal — photograph your plate for an instant saturated fat estimate• See your day — one number, no streaks, no shame• Watch the trend — weekly averages ready for your doctorHey Val is calm by design. No optimization pressure, no pill-shaming, no carnivore agenda. Free to download, iOS only, no ads, no subscription.
