Answers for every step
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.
Getting Started
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
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
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
The fastest log is often the one AI never has to interpret.
Food Logging
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
Food scanning uses AI to turn packaging and nutrition labels into structured entries so logging stays fast without turning into manual transcription..
Recipe Library
The recipe library turns recipes into repeatable logs, so your week is easier to execute and easier to review..
Smart Recall
Smart Recall is the shortest path when the meal already exists in yesterday's log.
Adjusting Macronutrients
Adjusting macronutrients edits your plan targets directly, overriding the generated plan without rerunning plan calculation..
Dynamic Calories
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
Energy Balance is the Today view’s calorie audit.
Fasting
Fuel treats a real fast differently from a forgotten log.
Fuel Energy Model
Fuel changes calorie targets only when the evidence behind the day changes: your plan, Apple Health burn, food logs, weigh-ins, rollover, and data quality rules all decide whether the number should move or hold..
Hydration
Fuel treats hydration as logged nutrition, not a side note.
Micronutrient Targets
Micronutrient targets protect the part of the plan calories cannot see: whether the logged day has enough fiber, minerals, vitamins, and long-chain omega-3 to support repeated training, hunger control, and recovery..
Net Carbs
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
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
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
Plan Progress shows where you are on your weight goal timeline, how the current week is behaving, and whether the projected goal date still fits the evidence Fuel has..
Reports and Practitioner PDFs
Reports are the export surface for practitioner review: a current goal-phase summary, the latest weekly evidence, data-quality notes, and a shareable offline PDF that says where the signal is strong and where it is thin..
Weigh-ins and Weight Trend
Your scale is noisy by design.
Workout Logging
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
Year to Date Stats gives you a running total of activity and logging across the calendar year, so the You tab can show consistency that daily and weekly views cannot show by themselves..
AI Coaching
AI coaching in Fuel helps you decide what to do next from the record you already have: today's log, review context, plan targets, Apple Watch activity, and the assistant handoff you choose..
Badges and Achievements
Badges give you a visual record of consistency milestones across logging, movement, fasting, social invites, weight progress, and meal variety..
Coach Chat and Assistant Handoff
Fuel does not currently have a separate general Coach Chat room inside the app.
Coach Day Plan
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..
Coach Personality and Context
The coaching in Fuel adapts to how you prefer to receive feedback.
Daily Review
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..
GLP-1 Support
GLP-1 support is for making Fuel react to the medication rhythm you already follow.
Health Grade
Health Grade is the fastest read on whether today is moving your plan forward or making the next choice harder.
Home Screen Widgets
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
Live Activity keeps your current nutrition status visible on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island without opening the app..
Nutrition Widgets
These are the interactive cards on the Today tab inside the app.
Streaks
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
Timeline is the dated feed on Today that shows the food, drinks, activities, and pending logs Fuel has for the selected day..
Weekly Review
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
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
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..
Privacy and Data
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 and Preferences
Settings exist to make the product match your constraints, so the plan is sustainable rather than fragile..
Smart Notifications
Smart notifications in Fuel react to the record you are building.
Supported Languages
Fuel currently supports English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Korean, Japanese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Thai across the iPhone app, widgets, and most Apple Watch companion surfaces..
Today View Personalization
Today settings let you decide what Today shows, what the main calorie number means, and how the calendar rings are computed..
