Building and planning meals is easy and flexible, and because you select your own foods, it can accommodate your dietary preference (e.g. vegan) and allergies (e.g. lactose intolerance).
For medical dietary restrictions due to metabolic conditions or surgeries, please read our medical disclaimer and consult your physician for referral to the appropriate professional.
Selecting Foods
The RP food library has thousands of foods to help you build your meals, and most basic food items can be found via a manual search, but we do have a barcode/label/food scanner for quicker search.
Open up the meal you want to plan. You'll notice a couple of filters at the top:
- RP foods
- HINT: Most foods you are looking for can be found here!
- Recents
- Favorites
- Custom
- Recipes
- Saved Meals
You can tap an any of them and scroll to find your foods, or use the search bar.
- Type the food you are looking for in the top search bar or scroll
- Look for the food under "RP Foods" for consistent, reliable food macros)
- Select the food you want by tapping on the (+) icon on the right
- Tapping the image will save it as a 'favorite.'
- The app adds it to the meal
- You can add multiple foods without leaving the search
- Foods will appear in your 'basket' in the top right. Click it to see all the foods selected, and remove any you no longer want
- Tap the checkmark in the top right to add confirm the foods selected
Looking to log quicker? Click the camera icon in the right side of the search bar and select either the barcode, label, or ai scanner. You can upload a photo you already took by clicking the photo icon in the bottom left.
After Selecting Your Foods
The meal will automatically try to fill the macros for your meal with the foods you selected. You can change the amounts by:
- tapping the +/- icons next to the listed weight
- overwriting directly in the weight box
You can toggle between raw and cooked values by tapping on the "raw" or "cooked" label under the food name. Both numbers will meet the same macros for that item in the meal. Which method should you use?
- Raw if you are making a single meal and can weigh before
- Cooked for any bulk meals that you will portion out after cooking
Not all foods will have both values, as not all foods weights change when raw vs. cooked.
Once you have your serving values and are preparing either cooked or raw, you can either click the back arrow out of the meal, or check it in by clicking the empty box in the top right corner.
If you decided you no longer want a food as part of the meal, or you simply forgot it, you can swipe left on the item to delete it.
If you plan to copy this meal or save it as a saved meal, and want it to copy in the exact quanities that you entered them as, click the lock icon under the food image.
To save it as a saved food combo:
- Click the 3 dot menu
- select 'save as food combo'
- name the meal
- save it
