Nutrition search in the plan editor
Search the same 2.3 million verified food items your clients log with, add a food straight into a plan, then edit the serving size and the macros to match how you coach.
Nutrition search is the plan builder's food autocomplete. You type a food the way you'd type an exercise, and the task rows suggest verified food items instead, each with calories and macros attached. It's part of QuickCoach Pro, and it's how you prescribe meals without leaving the builder you already program in.
Turn on Nutrition search
Open the plan builder and switch Nutrition search on. The Task column now autocompletes against food rather than exercises.
Find a food
Type what you're after. Type "chicken" and you get Chicken Breast (grilled) at 165 kcal per 100g, Chicken Thigh at 209, Whole Roast Chicken at 190, each one a click from being in the plan. Results come from the library of over 2.3 million verified food items, so the numbers are checked rather than crowd-sourced. Pick the item you mean and it lands in the plan with its per-100g calories and macros attached.
Edit the serving size
After you select a food you can edit the measurement. Entries come as per-100g values, and you can change them to the portion you actually want the client to eat: 150g of chicken breast, half a cup of oats, one slice of toast. The macros scale with the portion, so the plan carries the numbers for the serving you prescribed, not the generic ones.
Edit the macros
You can change the macros themselves too. A client's target might not line up with the database entry, or you might prefer round numbers. Select the food item, edit the macros, and save. Your version is what the plan uses from then on.
What the client sees
The food task shows in the client's plan like any other task, with the serving size and macros on it. When they log against it, or log anything else through the day, it lands in their Food Diary with calories and macros totalled by meal. You can open that diary from their profile; viewing your clients' nutrition logs shows how.
Frequently asked questions
Can clients edit the serving size when they log?
Yes. On their phone, clients pick a food, set the portion, and add it to their diary. The client-side steps are in logging food from the verified database.
Is nutrition search the same as food photo scanning?
No. Photo scanning estimates a meal from a photograph, and an estimate can be off. Search returns exact figures for the item you pick, which is why it's the better option for packaged foods. How clients use Snap & Log Nutrition covers the photo side.
Do I need the Nutrition Booster Pack for this?
No. Nutrition search, calories and macros are all core Pro. The Nutrition Booster Pack adds barcode scanning only, for clients who log a lot of packaged foods. All about the Nutrition Booster Pack has the details.
