Nice looking service. There is an issue I faced with diet plan, I have selected a vegan diet type but the app offered me to fish, meat, and milk meals.
@ma1ish Hi Dima, sorry you were getting those results! We rolled out a ton of new changes. If you want to give it a second try we'll offer you a whole month of PRO for free!
I like the onboarding (especially how you ask people to enter their current and ideal body fat percentage by choosing the relevant pictures) but I wish it would tell me I need to register before I actually gave it all that info. I was expecting to get some sort of demo since you didn't mention I have to sign up. Now I feel a bit turned off ^-^;
@anna_0x I'm glad you like the on-boarding process and I'm sorry if it was misleading when it came to registration. We have a mini demo of the meal generator on our website if you want to check that out. It just generates 1 meal and naturally is much more limited compared to the full version but you don't need to register to use it :)
@austinmeta I see, I hadn't noticed the mini demo! :) By the way... The landing page looks a bit weird on Safari. It's like a lot of elements don't have margins and the text is cut off because it overflows.
@jeroendeprest The algorithm is always improving and we try to generate more and more accurate meal plans. Even if the nutrients are off you can still easily customize the plan and add your custom foods to reach your nutrition targets!
@jeroendeprest Hi Jeroen, our algorithm got much better and I'm sure it will cover your needs perfectly! If you wanna give it a second chance, we'll offer you a whole free month free for the PRO version :)
Looks great. I absolutely hate vegetables, which of course is the only thing you can eat to lose weight! Is there a way to tell the plan generator to skip certain foods?
@sparkyuk11 Thank you! You hate veggies? oh no! Right now we are working on implementing restrictions so you can do exactly that. We previously had it in our signup form but need more time to test it out and make sure it functions as intended.
@sparkyuk11 a comment on "...vegetables, which of course is the only thing you can eat to lose weight"
Um, that's not actually true. You can eat anything and lose weight as long as you consume less energy than you use ^-^ You could technically lose weight by only eating ice cream as long as you follow that rule. Of course it would cause all sorts of problems for your body but you would lose weight.
@softsound Sorry to hear that Ashley. Try to regenerate the meal plan, it should give you better results. We are constantly improving our algorithms but sometimes the diet generated might be a bit off.
You can either regenerate the plan as many times as you like and/or edit it by adding your own custom or favorite foods to make it more appealing to your taste!
@softsound Hi Ashley, so sorry again you had a poor experience! The meals are now much better and yummy! We'll give you a one month FREE pro account if you wanna try it again :D
I just tried it and looks like something went wrong. It says I have to eat 3400 kcal per day to lose 1kg/week. I’m 179cm 90kg with lightlyactive activity.
Thanks for hunting us @chrismessina and hello PH peoples!
With myriads of misinformation and fad diets, knowing what to eat and staying on track with your nutrition and diet can be very challenging and time consuming.
My name is Simone Zienna, and I am the founder of Meta Nutrition. As a certified personal trainer and a nutritionist I wanted to set out and build and app that handles the complexities of providing people meal plans that fit their goals and are aligned with their dietary preferences.
We can’t wait for you to try it and look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions!
Very interesting. Something to note is that I am 6'0" but the UI wouldn't let me submit with 0 in the inches column. It also allowed me to be 5'23", and 6'(-12)"!
@bud_ross I'm glad you found it helpful! We keep on rolling out new features and improving the platform so check for updates often :D (PS. Recipes are gonna be available soon)
@bud_ross Hi Bud! I hope you kept up your positive health habits, if not that's fine too :) We'd like to give you a free one month PRO account for you to try if you want to check the platform out again
Hey ! nice on-boarding.
Just found the screen "Goal info" confusing with the mention "Speed kg/week" being readable even though the goal "Balanced nutrition" is selected.
I really liked the onboarding/profile making procedure!
The layout it's a little bit confusing once the mealplan is created and adding new foods it's not possible.. maybe something to work on? and congrats on the launch.
@gaialiciabalossi Thank you for the feedback! Which part of the layout did you find confusing?
You can add foods from the 'Explore foods tab' or create custom foods. Then you'll be able to add them to your meal plan. But I can see why that's not intuitive! Will make it more user friendly :)
I have to say that I've seen this 100 times before. Nothing special here. It did absolutely hijack my browser. Trying to add a food to a meal shot CPU usage and memory on chrome to 100. I'm still waiting for it to totally recover.
Maybe get JS off the client-side. Wappalyzer suggests this is using React/Next but certainly not properly.
It crashed when I tried to delete the account. That tab alone was using over 4GB of RAM.
@simonemeta Calorie and nutrition trackers I think are one of the hardest problems to tackle. Because A) Calories are an outdated measurement, those numbers come from setting food on fire and seeing how hot it burns. B) There is no universal number to watch. And C) The way the FDA categorizes nutrition is inconsistent. Why is isomaltulose considered a sugar and allulose a carb? Both could be in either category. Both are perfectly healthy and hard to put into a group with unhealthy sugars and carbs...
At the end of the day I think simple trackers like this don't do anything more than a food journal. Writing down what you eat and noting whether you think it's "healthy" or "unhealthy" is just as effective.
If I were building this, I wouldn't show any numbers and focus on the diets.
Anyway, separate your components out (Stripe is loading on the profile creation page? Why?) and move JS to server-side. Fixing performance problems will help you out a lot.
@eglove I agree that calories and nutrition estimates for pretty much any label or foods are not accurate; however, just by having a metric to monitor people become way more aware of what and how they eat which eventually leads them to make healthier dietary decisions.
We tackle the simple tracker problem by generating actual custom diet plans for the users. That's our distinguishing factor. Other apps make you do a ton of work tracking foods but don't provide any suggestion for how or what you should eat. We constantly speak with dietitians and consult research studies to provide very tailored nutritional advice.
The automated tracker is just a plus!
For the performance issues, we are constantly improving and making the platform faster and lighter for the user. We just switched to NextJS to improve speed, but there is still much work to do :)
Looks like a great web app. Did you use Glide to build it? Also, I found a bug. When exploring foods, the page number (page 3 of 30) displays in the middle of all the food options. Text stacked on top of text
@oskar_mendez Thanks! We used React & Next. I'll take note of the bug, we are currently working on cleaning up a lot of those minor issues so we really appreciate you giving us feedback. What browser were you using?
Продукт замечательный, по задумке! Ребята, из получившегося меню на день вижу килокалории и ЖБУ, но не могу найти витамины и минералы. Надо вручную складывать по каждому продукту?
Продукт поддерживается? В паре мест не было реакции интерфейса и вот сейчас это: "An unexpected error has occurred.", без совета что делать дальше.
