If your coach has set calorie and macro targets for you, the app shows how your day adds up as you go. Your coach sees your week and can leave a comment on a day.

  1. Add a food

    Tap Log food on Home, or open Food and tap Add food. Search for what you ate, for example kwark. Foods you had before are at the top, and Recent, Favourites, Recipes and My foods keep the ones you use often one tap away.

    The Add food sheet in the app, Recent tab: foods you logged before, such as Volkorenbrood 2 slices and Havermout, one tap each.

  2. Choose how much

    Pick a serving, such as 1 slice, and count up with +: the app shows 2 slices, not 70 g. You can also switch to Grams. Check the meal and tap Add to that meal.

Good to know

  • Tap a food to change the amount or move it to another meal. Swipe left to delete it; Undo brings it back.
  • Going over a target is shown, not judged. Log the day as it was; that is what your coach can help with.
  • A day you log here replaces the totals from Apple Health for that day.
