You can make changes to any meals or snacks you don't fancy. The food diary is yours to customise and adjust to suit your preferences 😊

You can copy a meal into the food diary, delete the ingredient (prawns for example) and add a lean protein of choice (such as chicken breast). You just have to keep an eye on the macros for any substitutions you make.

If you want to substitute one product for another, that's ok too. Say you can't find a certain cereal on your plan, or would rather eat a different brand. You can self-track a different cereal.

If you're struggling with ingredient/product substitutions, reach out to your coach (Premium Plan (Aus only)) - they will help through it or make the substitution themselves directly in the app.

It is important, however, to develop self-tracking skills when making food substitutions like this. It will become second nature over time and is a skill that will serve you for life! 🤗

How you’re tracking for the day is generally better understood once you self-track the whole day.

So our suggestion would be to input all meals and fill your calories for the day, and then you can see if any particular macro is suffering and you can adjust the quantities to bring that up.

For example, if protein is low you might have given yourself say steak and potato for dinner, and you can bring the steak quantity (protein source) up and the potato quantity (carb source) down. Meat and veg dinners are always really easy for your macros - i.e protein source + frozen chips/white/sweet potato + greens. Making each meal balanced and not dominant in one particular macro will help. When self-tracking, the rule of thumb is to always:

We always recommend pre-planning rather than tracking as you go to ensure you are meeting your daily targets!

If you're not wanting to make this substitute, you can always use the meal swap feature to find another meal that's more suited or that you can source locally!
