How it works
Your setup answers determine your daily calorie and protein targets, plus a workout plan for your schedule and equipment.
Your first targets are estimates. As you log food and weigh in, the app uses those records to review your targets at a check-in every two weeks.

Set up your plan
Choose your goal
Choose Lose weight, Build muscle, lose fat, or Gain muscle. Enter your current weight, sex, age and height.
For weight loss or gain, choose a target weight. The app may suggest one based on your body-fat estimate; you can change it. Build muscle, lose fat aims to keep your weight roughly steady, so it has no target weight or end date.
Enter your current body-fat estimate or choose the closest picture. The app uses it to help set your targets. See the method for the calculations.
For weight loss or gain, choose a weekly pace. The app suggests 0.5% of your body weight per week. You can adjust it within the range shown.
Choose how your targets update
Propose changes: get a recommendation every two weeks, with a reason. You choose whether to accept it.
Leave it to me: track your progress without suggestions to change your targets.
Choose whether to receive target suggestions. Set your training preferences
Choose your training days, workout length (30 to 90 minutes), equipment and training goal. Add any injuries and exercises you prefer or want to avoid.
The app uses these answers to choose your workout plan. You can change them later.
Add body photos, if you want
Three optional photos (front, back and side) give a body-fat estimate. The photos go to Google's Gemini AI through our servers, and the app asks your permission first. We don't keep them. Skip this step and everything else still works.
Save your plan
Create an account with Apple, Google or email so your plan and history move with you to a new phone. Then you'll see "Your plan is ready" and can tap See how we built this for the reasoning behind every number.
The app requires a subscription. Both plans include a free trial; your first charge is at the end of the trial.
