Recipe Library

Updated February 6, 2026

This content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

The recipe library turns recipes into repeatable logs, so your week is easier to execute and easier to review.

Why recipes matter in a log based system

Repeated meals reduce noise. When you use the same recipe template, your trend is easier to interpret because the input variance drops.

Recipes also prevent the common failure mode of logging that is consistent in name but inconsistent in actual macro content.

Logging a recipe

  1. Pick a recipe and confirm it matches what you actually made.
  2. Adjust serving size to match the portion you ate.
  3. Save the entry so it becomes part of your Apple Health nutrition record.

If you modify an ingredient in a way that changes macros, treat it as a new recipe variant so your future weeks remain comparable.

Using recipes to plan a week

Planning is easier when the hardest decisions are made ahead of time.

Use a small set of core recipes as anchors, then adapt sides and snacks based on the day’s activity. That keeps protein stable while allowing energy and carbohydrate to move with the schedule.

Plan access

Fuel Free offers a preview of the recipe library. Fuel Pro unlocks full recipe details and direct logging.

If recipes are central to your workflow, verify your plan status in Free and Pro.
