Meal plans, customising your meal plans, and your food diary explained

Meal plans are at the heart of the equ program.

We know that everybody is different and a one-size-fits-all approach to health just isn’t realistic, or sustainable. Our meal plan is based on your individual preferences, dietary requirements and health goals, which can include fat loss, weight maintenance or muscle gain 💪

Once you've completed our online questionnaire, signed up, downloaded the equ app, and filled out the onboarding, your meal plan will be sent to you straight away. There may be some cases where your meal plan requires more time (i.e. dietary exclusions), but will still be sent within 1-3 business days.

You will receive one new meal plan per week on your allocated check-in day. Some people eat the same thing each day, at least when you first begin the program. After a few weeks, you will have more meal plans to mix and match throughout the week.

If you're more fond of variety, you can meal swap each day and have different meals throughout the week e.g. dinner, this can be done through the Meal Planner in the app. You can also use the food diary we provide to self-select and track your own meals and snacks. Most of our clients use the plans we send them as inspiration, then make adjustments using their food diary depending on the ingredients they have available to them, or what they're craving. This builds sustainability as it teaches you how to self-track and craft meals that are nutritious for body and soul 😍

You can make food requests each week on your check-in day, and will aim to include them in your next meal plan.

You will receive an alert from the app as soon as it is ready, so make sure you have your push notifications switched on on your phone.

How many meal plans do I receive weekly?

Each week you receive one meal plan that you can choose to follow to a T or you can use the meal planner and meal swap feature or the food diary to self-track and provide variety in your week.

Do I receive a new meal plan every day?

No, we provide one meal plan sent weekly. This is not 7 days worth of meal plans. You'll find that 7 days' worth of plans is overwhelming, and you'll spend a lot of money on food. You'll find that the meal swap feature will provide you with the variety you need weekly as you can swap each day if you'd like.

Do I have to eat my meal plan at set times, or in order?

You can eat your meals at any time (within a 24-hour period) and in any order. Just as long as you're meeting your calorie and macro targets for the day. This ensures optimum results.

Do you have a sample meal plan?

We don’t have a sample meal plan as each meal plan is customised for each individual, their intake needs and food preferences. We do however have a 7-day money-back guarantee for first-time users. So, you can join and test it out to see your first personalised meal plan. You can expect balanced and diverse foods reflecting what people usually like to eat.
