Contact Nutrition Coach Support

I switched from MyFitnessPal to this app, and at first was really happy with it and loved the layout. BUT, there’s no way to add foods that aren’t in their system!! And there’s not even any way to just add random calorie amounts to your daily total, you HAVE to pick something from their database of foods. Which isn’t horrible, but it is still quite limited. I’m probably going to switch back to MyFitnessPal, but I will be back if they make these changes. I will be back if they make it possible to make your own food entries with its own nutritional facts/names/brands that you can input yourself. Or even if they just simply make it so that you can add “X amount of calories” to your daily total. I don’t even care about the other macros besides calories. I hope they make these changes because I was really excited about this app, and would want to come back if it weren’t for this flaw.

Overall I give a 2.5 star rating. As others mentioned, the amount of food in their database is very limited so even scanning a barcode does not mean the app will be able to find and log your food. Additionally, I wish the app kept a separate log of all the meals you’ve inputted for different meals throughout the day. It’s a pain if I’m eating leftovers for lunch from dinner the night before, and have to re-enter everything I inputted the previous night. If I eat the same thing at the same time (lunch and then eat the same meal for lunch the next day) it’s easy to select the food and add it to that days tracked meals, but if not it’s a real hassle. As someone whose trying to gain weight and has to watch calories and macros I find this app to be average. If they streamlined the input meals and expanded their meal database I’d highly recommend the app.

TL;DR: The macro recommendations are insanely off, and it doesn’t let you enter in meals that aren’t on their lists. One, the daily macro portions that it suggests for dieting make no sense. At 175 lbs trying to gain weight, it suggested that I eat 248g of protein per day…. That is absurd advice that not a single nutritionist would recommend. Typically you’d se somewhere around 1g/1lb for those seriously trying to gain muscle mass which is WAY under what Nutri Coach says. Conversely, the recommended fats are way too low. For a low fat diet, most references I’ve seen recommend about 85g per 2,500 calories. This recommended 27g which is absurdly little. Seriously, y’all are going to give people eating disorders with this app. It’s like they didn’t even have a nutritionist look at these recommendations before getting people on these crazy diets. Additionally the interface is just not great. You can’t even add your own food items if something doesn’t pop up on their list. The scanner works well which is why this gets 2 instead of 1 stars. All in all, there are just lots of other apps that do what Nutri Coach does so much better. I switched and am so much happier with it.
