Track daily targets, log planned meals in one tap and let your coach follow along. ## Say what you ate. We count the calories. Say or type "2 eggs, toast and a cappuccino" and hi.fitness turns it into a meal with amounts, calories and macros. Check it, save it, and watch your day fill toward your targets. ## One sentence. A whole logged meal. No database digging, no weighing every entry into a form. Say the meal out loud or type it the way you would text it, and hi.fitness turns it into items with amounts, calories and macros for you to check before saving. - **Speak it or type it**: Say "chicken wrap and a coke" or type it, and it becomes items with amounts, calories, protein, carbs and fat. - **Review before it saves**: Change an amount or the meal type - calories and macros rescale as you type. - **Barcode when you need it**: Enter a product's barcode number and pull its nutrition facts into the meal. ## Your day, meal by meal. Every meal lands in one clean day view - grouped the way you ate it, with calories and macros per item and a running total for the day. On your phone, meals become cards with a macro donut each. - **Grouped meals**: Multi-item meals stay together, from a quick coffee to a full dinner. - **Edit inline**: Rename a food, change the amount or time, move it to another meal - right in the log. - **Undo anything**: Changes save on their own, and every one of them can be undone. ## Know where the day stands. Calories up top, protein, carbs and fat below - consumed against your targets, with what's left in plain numbers. Targets come from your nutrition plan or profile setup, not a generic default. - **Targets that fit you**: Suggested from your profile - age, height, weight, activity and goal - and always editable. - **Honest when you're over**: Bars turn red past the target. No hiding, no guilt trip, just the number. - **The week at a glance**: Each day shows its calories and its character - Balanced day, Protein-focused. ## Planned meals log themselves. With an active nutrition plan, the day's planned meals are already listed when you go to log. One tap and the whole meal - ingredients, amounts, calories, macros - lands in your diary. - **One tap, whole meal**: Tap Log on a planned meal and it's in your food log, no typing needed. - **Ingredients included**: Logged plan meals keep their ingredient rows, so amounts stay editable. - **Off-plan days still count**: Ate something else? Type it - free text and plan logging share one diary. ## See what clients actually eat. Open a client's food diary from their workspace and see their days as they logged them - meals, calories and macros against the targets from their plan. Read-only, no screenshots, no spreadsheets. - **The diary, not a summary**: Day by day, meal by meal, exactly as the client logged it. - **Next to their targets**: Calories and macros sit beside the targets from the plan you built. - **Better check-ins**: Skip the "what did you eat this week" back and forth and talk about the food. ## Count for yourself. Or share the diary with your coach. The same calorie counter works alone or inside a coaching relationship. Log your meals either way - the only difference is who else can see the day. ## Good to know ### Is the calorie counter free? Yes. hi.fitness is free, including meal logging by typing, the food log and daily targets. ### How accurate are the estimates? hi.fitness estimates from typical portion sizes and standard nutrition data, then shows you every item with its amount, calories and macros before anything is saved. You can adjust any of it, and the numbers rescale as you type. ### Do I need a nutrition plan to count calories? No. Typing what you ate works on its own. An active plan adds one-tap logging of planned meals and gives your day its calorie and macro targets. ### Can my coach see my food log? If you work with a coach on hi.fitness, they can open your food diary in your shared client workspace - read-only, next to your plan and check-ins. ### Can I scan barcodes? You can enter a product's barcode number and hi.fitness looks up its nutrition facts. Camera scanning is not available yet. ### How are my calorie targets calculated? From your profile setup: hi.fitness estimates your daily energy use from age, height, weight and activity, adjusts it for your goal and splits it into protein, carbs and fat. Every number stays editable. ### Can I log from my phone? Yes. The diary works in your phone's browser - meals show as cards with a macro donut, built for logging on the go. ## Log your next meal in hi.fitness. Type it, check the numbers, save it - and watch the day line up with your targets.
