Frequently Asked Questions

It helps you figure out what to eat right now based on your day, your movement, and what’s actually in front of you. Instead of giving you a full-day plan to manage, it gives you one clear Best Move, a simple reason why it works, and a practical next step.

No. The Best Move is designed specifically so you do not have to log every bite, scan barcodes, or track your whole day. You just describe your current situation and the app helps with the next food decision.

It uses the context you give it, like where you are, what your movement looks like today, whether you trained or are training later, any curveballs like poor sleep or alcohol, and what food is actually on the table. It combines that with the goals and preferences you’ve already set so the recommendation fits your day instead of following a generic rule.

For many people, it can replace calorie tracking because it is built to guide food decisions without requiring calorie counting or macro logging. If you already have nutrition targets from a coach or provider, you can add them and let the app use them quietly in the background without turning your day into a tracking project.

Yes. It is built for real life, which means changing schedules, eating out, late nights, leftovers, travel, and days that do not go according to plan. The whole point is to help you make a better move even when the day is messy.

The Right Now experience is designed to be short and guided. You answer the questions that are relevant to what is happening right now, then the app gives you a clear Best Move without turning the decision into more work.

No. The Best Move is built around practical guidance, not measuring every ingredient or portion with precision tools. You describe what you have in normal language, and the app helps you make the better move from there.

No. The app gets what it needs from your quick inputs about movement and workout timing, so a wearable is not required. Its logic is based on simple context you can provide yourself in the moment.

Yes. You will likely get the most value from using it regularly, but it can still be useful if you mainly open it for the decisions that usually trip you up. That could be lunch out, late-night delivery, travel food, cravings, or whatever tends to throw your day off.

It gives you simple guidance you can act on right away: a clear Best Move, a short Why This Works explanation, and a practical Next Move for what to keep in mind next. When it meaningfully helps, you may also see a Flex Move—an optional alternative or adjustment that works with your goal and the situation. It is not a full-day meal plan or complicated nutrition math.

When you return, The Best Move asks whether you followed the last recommendation: Yes, Close enough, or Not this time. If you choose Close enough or Not this time, you select a brief reason so the app can better understand what actually happened. One response does not permanently change your profile, and a recommendation is not treated as food you ate unless you confirm it.

A Flex Move is an optional alternative or adjustment that appears only when it would genuinely help. Depending on your goal and the situation, it might be a swap, a portion change, an addition, or a practical way to keep something you want. It is not a punishment, and it does not automatically mean “eat less.”

Yes. The Best Move is built to help in the moments that matter most, especially when a decision feels hard or messy. Using it more often can help you stack better moves over time, but it’s completely valid to open it only when you need a clear next best move.

It’s built to stay simple. The Best Move is there to turn “what should I eat?” into one clear next best move so food decisions feel lighter, not like a full-time job.

The Best Move is focused on the decision you need to make next. It uses what is happening right now—your goals, movement or workout context, relevant real-life factors, and the food actually available—to help you decide what makes sense. You also do not have to log every bite or manage calorie math all day for it to be useful.

The Best Move is more focused on real-time decision support than on following a broader program with daily systems, points, or full-day behavior frameworks. Its job is to meet you in a specific food moment and help you make the next best move without adding more layers to manage.

No. You choose one primary goal: Lose Body Fat, Maintain My Weight, or Gain Weight. You can also choose optional supporting goals such as Build Muscle & Strength, Improve Overall Health, or Stay Consistent / Get Back on Track. Your primary goal leads the direction of the recommendation, while supporting goals help refine it.

Yes. Gain Weight is one of The Best Move’s three primary goals. When it is your primary goal, the recommendation should support that direction rather than applying weight-loss defaults. Depending on what is available and what is happening that day, that can include fuller portions, energy-dense additions, or an additive Flex Move.

Yes. You do not have to be trying to lose weight to use The Best Move. If maintaining your weight fits what you want, Maintain My Weight can be your primary goal, and you can add a supporting goal such as Improve Overall Health or Stay Consistent / Get Back on Track. The app helps you make food decisions that align with your goals; it does not promise a specific change in energy or how you feel.

Yes. The product is designed to remove complexity by skipping calorie counting, barcode scanning, and full-day tracking. It guides you through simple inputs and gives you a clear recommendation in plain language.

It should feel different because it is not asking you to be perfect or manage a full nutrition system all day. It is designed to reduce decision overload and help with one food choice at a time in a more supportive, real-life way.

Yes. The messaging and example scenarios are built around workdays, client meals, quick decisions, and time pressure. It is especially well suited to people who want help in the middle of real life, not another task to manage.

Yes. You do not need an intense training schedule for the app to help. The onboarding and Right Now flow both support lower-activity days and “not training today” situations, so the guidance can still fit a mostly sedentary workday.

That is fine. The Best Move does not need to replace whatever you use for workouts, steps, or exercise logging. It can simply be the layer that helps you make better food decisions around the rest of your routine.

It is designed to avoid the heavy tracking, calorie counting, and all-day logging that can make some nutrition tools feel obsessive. That said, if you have a personal or clinical history that makes food apps complicated for you, it is smart to use your own judgment and professional guidance about what feels supportive.

Yes. The app is built to work for people who are just getting started as well as people who train regularly. It adjusts tone and recommendation style based on your activity level and real-time movement context rather than assuming everyone needs the same level of structure.

No. The Best Move is positioned around real life, better moves, and flexibility, not guilt or food shame. Even the Flex Move logic is designed to adjust a choice realistically instead of pretending every situation needs a perfect answer.

You can absolutely use The Best Move without making the scale the center of anything. It’s built around better food decisions in real life, so you never have to fixate on a single number to get value from it.

The Right Now flow is designed to be short and guided, with questions that adjust to your situation. The goal is to get you to a clear Best Move quickly without turning a rushed moment into more work.

Yes. That is exactly the kind of real-life situation it is built for. You can describe what is available and get guidance on the best move without needing a perfect menu or a fully tracked meal.

Open the app and tell it what’s actually available—whether that’s what’s in your fridge, on a restaurant menu, or at a fast-food stop—and let it help you make the best move from those choices. The Best Move is built around real constraints and imperfect options, not pretending you always have time or access for an ideal meal.

Travel and on-the-go food are built into how The Best Move works, not treated as exceptions. It is meant to help you make the best move with airports, gas stations, café stops, takeout, and unpredictable timing.

Yes. You do not need a full meal plan for it to be useful. If you are choosing between a few quick options, the app can still help you make a better move based on your day and goals.

Yes. Late-night decisions are one of the exact situations the product messaging is built around. The app is meant to help when the day is already messy and you still want a better next move.

Yes. The app does not need a full-day log or a perfectly entered meal to be useful. You can describe what you are choosing from and get guidance that is practical for that situation.

That is one of the main reasons the app exists. Because it works off your current context, it can adjust when the day shifts and help you make the next best move instead of trying to force an old plan to fit.

It starts with what is actually on the menu or table and gives you a Best Move that fits your primary goal and the situation. That might mean adjusting a portion or combination for Lose Body Fat, keeping things more balanced for Maintain My Weight, or using a fuller portion or available addition for Gain Weight. The point is to work with the food you actually have instead of automatically telling everyone to “go lighter” or find a different meal.

Use the app around what is actually available and what you are planning to do. If alcohol is part of the situation, The Best Move distinguishes between planning to have alcohol and having had alcohol recently. It can use that context without telling you to skip meals, bank calories, or “earn” your drinks. If you ate more than usual earlier, that is useful context—not a reason to punish the next meal.

Yes. It’s designed to help you make better moves with whatever’s actually available at a gas station, airport, or on the road, not just perfect home-cooked meals. It is built to be useful when the choices are limited and imperfect.

It approaches them the same way it approaches any real-life food situation: by helping you make the next best move with what is actually happening. It can still be useful on heavier, more social, or less predictable eating days, and the Next Move piece can help you decide what to do after a big meal so you can move forward instead of feeling like you have to start over.

Yes. It can help you adjust a takeout order you already like instead of replacing it with an idealized meal. Depending on your goal and what is available, a Flex Move might be a swap, a portion adjustment, an addition, or another practical way to make the choice work better for the situation. A Flex Move is optional and only appears when it meaningfully helps.

If you are stressed, tired, or craving a specific comfort food, tell the app what you are considering or what is actually available. Poor sleep can be part of the context when relevant, and the recommendation can work with the food you want rather than pretending the craving is not there. The app does not diagnose emotional eating or assume why you want a particular food. A Flex Move may appear when a practical adjustment would genuinely help.

You can just type what you have at home in normal language, like ingredients, leftovers, or a rough meal idea. The app is meant to interpret that naturally and help you make a better move without measuring everything out.

Yes. You can simply describe the vegetarian, vegan, or other options you’re choosing from—at home or out—and the app will help you make a better move with those foods, without requiring you to eat anything outside your preferences.

Cravings and late-night eating can still be handled through the food you describe and the context the app knows. The Best Move does not diagnose emotional eating or assume why you want a particular food. If you tell it you are craving something, it can work with what is actually available and may offer a Flex Move when a practical alternative or adjustment would help. Eating late by itself is not automatically treated as a problem.

No. The app can still help on rest days, low-activity days, and days when you are not training at all. It uses the day you are actually having to help with the current food decision, and a rest day does not automatically mean you should eat less.

Yes. In onboarding, you can choose an activity level like “getting started,” and in the Right Now flow you can choose “not training today” when that fits. The app is meant to help with food decisions even if you are not following a workout routine yet.

That is part of the core logic. The app uses your current movement and workout context each time you open it, so the guidance can change with the reality of that day rather than assuming every day should be treated the same.

You can still use the app normally. Choose the option that matches the day you are actually having, and The Best Move will help with the next food decision from there. Missing a planned workout is not treated as failure, and it does not automatically mean you should cut carbohydrates, reduce portions, or eat less.

Yes. Sedentary and non-training days are normal use cases for The Best Move. Your saved activity level gives the app general background, while the Right Now flow tells it what is actually happening today. A low-activity or rest day does not automatically mean you should eat less or cut carbohydrates.

Its main job is helping you with food, not telling you exactly how to work out. It’s built to fit around whatever movement you choose, rather than acting as a workout-planning app.

You can keep it simple. The app just asks for a little movement context in the Right Now flow so it can shape your food guidance; it is not built to track or manage your workouts.

No. The app is designed to meet you where you are with food decisions, including days when your movement is just getting started, and its tone is about better moves—not shaming you for not doing more.

You start with a short onboarding flow. You choose one primary goal—Lose Body Fat, Maintain My Weight, or Gain Weight—then add any optional supporting goals, your activity level, optional macro targets if you already use them, and relevant health considerations or foods to avoid. After that, you can use the Right Now flow whenever you need help with a food decision.

No. You do not need to know macros, points, or calorie math for the app to work. If you already have nutrition targets, you can add them, but the app is built so those details stay in the background rather than becoming your daily job.

Yes. Every recommendation is designed to include a short “Why This Works” explanation that keeps the logic simple and grounded. The goal is to build confidence without making the app sound technical or overwhelming.

The app is built to lower that pressure. Instead of expecting perfect tracking or a perfect day, it helps you make the next best move with what is happening right now.

Yes. The short explanation that comes with each Best Move is designed to help you understand the logic over time. That way, you are not just getting an answer — you are also learning how to think through similar situations more confidently.

It is built specifically to reduce overwhelm by removing full-day tracking and focusing on one decision at a time. Think “what’s my best move for this meal, snack, or late-night fridge raid?” not “how do I perfectly manage my entire day?”

Progress does not have to mean logging more data or watching one number. A more useful way to look at it is whether your food decisions are lining up with your goal, whether you are navigating difficult situations more consistently, and whether you are spending less time second-guessing what to do. The Best Move does not promise a specific amount of weight loss, body change, or other physical result.

There is no standard result you should expect in a set number of weeks. The Best Move is designed to help you make clearer food decisions that align with your goals when real life changes the plan. What changes physically or how you feel will vary from person to person and is not something the app promises.

It isn’t built around a traditional food log or daily bite-by-bite scorekeeping. The app’s idea of a win is helping you make better decisions more consistently in real life, especially in the moments that usually throw you off, and taking one source of pressure off your plate when everything else in life already feels busier than ever.

The Best Move is not only for weight loss. Your primary direction is Lose Body Fat, Maintain My Weight, or Gain Weight, and you can add supporting goals such as Build Muscle & Strength, Improve Overall Health, or Stay Consistent / Get Back on Track. The app can also use relevant context such as poor sleep and alcohol when shaping a food recommendation, but it is not designed to promise changes in your energy, mood, or stress.

Yes. The scale does not have to be the only way you think about progress. You can pay attention to whether your decisions are lining up with your goal, whether you are handling difficult food situations more consistently, and whether you are second-guessing yourself less. The Best Move does not promise a particular physical result.

There is no required daily schedule. Use The Best Move when you have a real food decision you want help with. Regular use gives you more opportunities to use the guidance in different situations, but you do not need to open it all day or use it a certain number of times for it to be useful.

You do not lose everything or fall behind if you miss a week. When you come back, the app just picks up with your next Right Now situation and helps you focus on the next decision instead of redoing a whole program from zero, which is part of what makes it feel more real-life and forgiving than traditional diet tools.

It does not punish you for missed days or keep score on you. Missed days and rest days are part of real life, not failures, and when you open it again, it simply picks up with your next Right Now situation and helps you choose your next best move from where you are.

It focuses on small, real-life choices, not one big number. The whole point is to help you make your next food decision more clearly and consistently, so progress comes from better moves, not chasing a single metric.

Yes. The Best Move is built to work without calorie counting. It gives you real-time guidance based on your day and what’s in front of you, so you never have to turn your day into a tracking project to get value from it.

It’s about habits and consistent decisions, not perfect numbers. The Best Move is built to help you stack better moves in real life, not chase perfect tracking days or hit one “ideal” number.

No. The Best Move doesn’t expect perfection—it’s built around better moves, not perfect ones. It’s there to help on messy, imperfect, real-life days too.

One move at a time. The whole point is to lower the pressure, focus on your next best move, and let progress come from better moves stacked over time instead of trying to change everything at once.

It is built to help you move on, not punish you. When you come back, the short, guided Right Now flow focuses on the situation you are in now and gives you the next useful move instead of making you “start over.”
