Set calorie and macro targets, build reusable recipes, and give clients a food diary with barcode logging. **By The Boost Fitness Team** You already write the training. You already track the progress. But when it comes to food, you have probably been stitching things together — a spreadsheet here, a separate tracking app there, screenshots in your messages. It works, until it doesn't. Today that changes. Nutrition now lives right inside Boost, alongside everything else you use to coach. Here is what you can do with it. ## Coach nutrition without leaving Boost You can now set calorie and macro targets for every client, straight from their profile. Decide the numbers that fit their goal, save them, and they become the benchmark your client works towards each day. Want to go further than targets alone? You can add an optional meal plan on top. Some clients thrive with a simple calorie and macro goal and the freedom to hit it their own way. Others do better when you map the meals out for them. Now you can do both, for different clients, without switching tools. This is the heart of proper [**nutrition coaching**](https://boostfitness.io/features/nutrition): clear targets, a plan when it helps, and everything visible in one place. ## A searchable food library you can trust Guesswork is the enemy of good nutrition coaching. That is why Boost now includes a searchable food library packed with verified foods. - **Search and add in seconds.** Type a food, pick it, and the nutrition details come with it — no manual entry, no second-guessing. - **Add your own foods.** Got a local product, a client favourite, or something the library doesn't cover yet? Add it once and it is there for good. The result is a foundation you can build every plan on, knowing the numbers behind it are solid. ## Build recipes once, reuse them everywhere Most coaches end up recommending the same handful of meals again and again. Rewriting them client by client is a quiet time-drain you never signed up for. Now you can build a recipe from ingredients once, then reuse it across as many clients as you like. Your go-to high-protein breakfast, that easy batch-cook dinner, the smoothie you swear by — build them in your library and drop them into any plan whenever you need them. Your best ideas stop living in your head and start working for your whole roster. ## Give clients a food diary they will actually use A plan only matters if your client follows it, and following it has to be easy. That is why nutrition comes with a food diary built right into the member area. Your clients can log: - **Foods** straight from the same library you plan with - **Recipes** you have shared with them - **Quick-adds** for the days when they just need to log a rough number and move on Everything they log lands against the targets you set, so both of you can see how the day is stacking up. No more "I think I hit my protein" — the diary shows it. ### Barcode logging for packaged foods Real life is full of packaged food, and typing all of it in is exactly the kind of friction that makes people quit tracking. So clients can look up packaged products by barcode and log them in a tap. Less effort for them means more consistent logging for you to coach from. ## One app instead of a patchwork Here is the quiet win in all of this. Nutrition being built in means you can finally retire the spreadsheets and the separate tracking apps. Training, progress, and now food all live under one roof — yours. For you, that is less admin and fewer tabs. For your clients, it is one simple place to show up each day instead of a scavenger hunt across three different tools. That simplicity is often the difference between a client who tracks and a client who drifts. ## Key takeaways - Set **calorie and macro targets** for every client, and add an **optional meal plan** when it helps. - Search a **large library of verified foods**, and add your own whenever you need to. - Build **reusable recipes** from ingredients and use them across all your clients. - Clients get a **food diary** to log foods, recipes, and quick-adds against their targets. - **Barcode lookup** makes logging packaged foods fast and painless. - It all replaces the spreadsheets and separate nutrition apps you have been juggling. ## Ready to coach nutrition the easy way? Nutrition is one of the biggest levers you have with a client — and now it sits right where you already coach everything else. Set the targets, build the recipes, and let your clients log the rest.
