Nutrition.
Calories, macros, and food logging.
How are my nutrition targets set? +
The plan calculates calories and protein from your weight, goal, and activity; carbs and fat fill in the rest. Tap the sliders on Nutrition to recalculate from scratch — or enter your own targets manually.
Do I have to track nutrition? +
No — training works fully without it. But body composition is mostly won in the kitchen, so the tracker is there when you're ready.
How do I set up nutrition tracking? +
On the Nutrition tab, tap Set Your Goals: current weight, target weight, pace, and activity level. CheckFit calculates your daily calories and macros from there.
How does AI food logging work? +
Describe what you ate in plain words — "chipotle chicken bowl with rice, beans, and guac" — and CheckFit estimates the macros. You review and adjust before anything is saved.
Can I scan barcodes? +
Yes — scan a package and the food fills in.
How accurate are the AI food estimates? +
They're estimates — good ones, better with portion sizes and brand names. Everything is editable before you log it, and consistency matters more than perfection.
Can I edit or delete a food I logged? +
Tap it to edit, swipe left to delete.
Can I log food for a previous day? +
Yes — use the arrows at the top of the Nutrition tab to move between days.
Can I set my own calorie and macro targets? +
Yes. Tap the sliders icon on Nutrition → Edit Targets and type exactly what you want. Recalculating the plan later replaces them.
What happens when I reach my target weight? +
Recalculate your plan with a new goal — maintain, keep cutting, or build.
How much protein do I actually need? +
The evidence lands around 0.7–1 g per pound of bodyweight per day for lifters. CheckFit sets your number in the plan — hitting it daily matters more than the decimal.
Should I eat back calories burned in training? +
No — your activity level is already baked into the target. Eat your number, train, stay consistent.
What's a realistic rate of weight loss? +
Around 0.5–1% of bodyweight per week keeps muscle while fat comes off. The wizard's pace options stay inside that range for a reason.
Does meal timing matter? +
Far less than daily totals. Spread protein across the day, eat something with carbs and protein within a few hours of training, and don't sweat the rest.
Why did my targets change after I recalculated? +
Recalculation uses your current weight and goal — as those move, so do the numbers. That's the point of redoing it every so often.
