Quick guides for setting up Fuel, logging meals, syncing Apple Health, dialing in your targets, working with the AI coach, and anything else you need to get the most out of the app.
Fuel works best when your first week is boring in the right way: Apple Health connected, meals logged the same day, weigh-ins entered often enough to create a trend, and coaching read before you start changing targets..
AI food logging is the fast path from photo, text, or labels to structured Apple Health nutrition entries, with a verification step that keeps your record consistent.
Eat Out helps you make a better restaurant choice for the rest of your day, so you can open a menu, scan it, and quickly see which option fits your remaining calories and macros best..
Food Library lets you search local foods, browse grocery brands and categories, and log items faster without waiting on AI..
Food logging turns intention into a measurable plan so your watch-fed calorie targets and coaching stay grounded in what you actually ate..
Food scanning uses AI to turn packaging and nutrition labels into structured entries so logging stays fast without turning into manual transcription..
The recipe library turns recipes into repeatable logs, so your week is easier to execute and easier to review..
Adjusting macronutrients edits your plan targets directly, overriding the generated plan without rerunning plan calculation..
Dynamic Calories lets your daily calorie target move with your actual activity so high-burn days get more fuel and rest days stay leaner, without manual adjustment..
Energy Balance is the Today view’s calorie audit.
Fuel includes a fasting experience on Today with a live tile, zone progress, a detailed timeline, notification controls, and dedicated achievements..
Fuel tracks water, other fluids, and caffeine as first-class nutrition data so hydration shows up alongside macros instead of being hidden in notes.
Micronutrient targets keep nutrition quality visible so macro adherence does not slowly drift into low quality intake that feels fine for a week and then fails..
Net Carbs lets Fuel subtract fiber from your carb budget display, so you can follow a lower-carb approach and keep the rest of your day easy to read..
Nutrition planning in Fuel starts with a stored daily plan, then turns that plan into targets, meal choices, coaching, and review feedback you can actually use..
Personalized metrics are the numbers Fuel derives from your plan, food log, Apple Health data, weigh-ins, and review history so the app can explain what is happening instead of showing isolated totals..
Plan Progress shows where you are on your weight goal timeline and projects when you will reach your target based on your current plan..
Your scale is noisy by design.
Fuel supports manual workout logging with controls for workout type, duration, and perceived effort so training days are reflected in your energy balance and coaching..
Year to Date Stats gives you a running total of your activity and logging across the calendar year so you can see cumulative progress beyond daily and weekly views..
AI coaching in Fuel helps you decide what to do next, using your day so far instead of generic advice..
Badges give you a visual record of consistency milestones across logging, movement, fasting, and meal variety..
Coach Chat is the interface for turning your log history into decisions.
Coach Day Plan gives you a full-day meal direction before you log anything, so you can start the day with less guesswork and a clearer idea of what breakfast, lunch, and dinner could look like..
The coaching in Fuel adapts to how you prefer to receive feedback.
Daily Review is Fuel's recap of yesterday: it turns the previous day's logs, targets, Health Grade, movement, and goal progress into one coach message and a simple macro audit for today's next decision..
Health Grade is the fastest read on whether today is moving your plan forward or making the next choice harder.
Home screen widgets put your daily numbers on your iPhone lock screen or home screen so you can check progress without opening the app..
Live Activity keeps your current nutrition status visible on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island without opening the app..
These are the interactive cards on the Today tab inside the app.
Streaks measure whether you are producing a usable day-by-day record, using Apple Health nutrition and activity entries as the source of truth..
Timeline is the dated feed on Today that shows the food, drinks, activities, and pending logs Fuel has for the selected day..
Coach Week Review is Fuel's weekly debrief: it turns seven days of food, drinks, activity, weight, plan targets, Health Grade, and goal progress into a coach summary, scorecard, next-week targets, meal ideas, and a small action plan..
iCloud Backup saves your profile, plan, streaks, coach settings, and preferences to iCloud, so moving to a new device is faster and you do not have to rebuild everything by hand..
Notification variations use the system language model in iOS to generate small wording variants for some Fuel notifications while keeping meaning and delivery logic unchanged..
Fuel is designed so your health record stays under your control, with Apple Health as the storage layer and permissions as the enforcement layer..
Settings exist to make the product match your constraints, so the plan is sustainable rather than fragile..
Smart notifications in Fuel deliver reviews and reminders that react to what you have logged and when you usually log, not generic engagement prompts..
Fuel currently supports English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Korean, Japanese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Thai..
Today settings let you decide what Today shows, what the main calorie number means, and how the calendar rings are computed..
