CalFitness features
Everything the app does, and why it does it that way
68 features across food logging, training, and the reports that tell you whether any of it is working. Each one has its own page.
Food logging
Getting the day down in the fewest taps it can honestly take.
- The daily logOne screen for the day: what you ate, what it cost, and what is left.
- Food searchOne search across your own foods, the shared catalog, and branded products.
- Barcode scannerPoint the camera at a packet and log what is actually in it.
- Custom foodsYour own foods, with your own serving sizes, saved once and reused forever.
- Recipes and combosLog a meal made of six things as one thing.
- Portions and household measuresKatori, roti, glass, slice, packet — units people actually use.
- Meals and meal timesBreakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks — named, timed, and yours to change.
- Add nextA short list of what you are most likely to eat next, ranked by why.
- Cook alongFollow a recipe video step by step, then log what you actually made.
- Describe a dishSay what you ate in plain language and get a checkable breakdown.
Nutrition planning
Deciding what the day should look like before you have to live it.
- Your daily calorie targetA number derived from your own data, not a formula applied once at signup.
- Weekly energy budgetThe daily number is a slice of a weekly one, shaped around your real week.
- Macro targetsProtein, carbs and fat as targets you can reason about, not four rings.
- Day plannerBuild tomorrow before you get there, then log it as you eat it.
- Meal programsA multi-day eating plan you can follow, edit, or hand to someone else.
- Suggestions that know your goalWhat to eat next, chosen for the gap you actually have.
- Habit-first portionsIf you always take the same amount, the app stops asking.
- Was that a light day or a short log?One tap that stops a half-logged day from poisoning your averages.
Training
Logging a session while you are in it, with your hands full and a bar to get back to.
- Start an empty workoutBegin with nothing planned and add exercises as you do them.
- RoutinesA named session with its exercises, sets and targets, ready to run.
- Plans and programsA multi-week structure of routines, with a place in it for today.

- Live ActivityThe set you are on and the rest you have left, on the iOS lock screen.
- SupersetsTwo or more exercises alternating in rounds, with one rest per round.
- Drop setsA top set and its drops recorded as one set, because that is what it is.
- Timed setsPlanks, carries and holds logged in seconds, with a countdown that runs them.
- Warm-ups and cool-downsRamp sets that do not pollute your working-set numbers.
- Last time you did thisWhat you lifted for this exercise last session, on the card while you decide.

Progress and insight
Reading what happened, and refusing to read what did not.
- Weekly reportA completed week, with the plan on trial rather than you.
- Monthly reportBehaviour is the weekly question. Outcome is the monthly one.
- The last seven daysA running view that does not care where Monday is.
- The home railCards that have to earn their place, and a quiet home screen when none do.
- What you actually burnMaintenance measured from your own log and scale, not predicted by a formula.
- Weight trendThe line through the noise, not the number on the scale this morning.
- Body measurementsTape, calipers, scale or scan — recorded with their uncertainty visible.
- SkinfoldsCaliper sites recorded properly, with the body-fat estimate they support.
- Progress photosA set of angles on a date, comparable because they are the same angles.
- Readiness body mapWhat is recovered and what is not, per muscle, on a body you can read.
- 3D muscle mapA body you can rotate, with the muscles you trained lit up.
- Exercise historyEvery set you have done of one movement, in one place.
- Streaks and consistencyHow reliably you show up, without turning a missed day into a catastrophe.
