You have two paths to reach your nutrition goals. Choose the one that works best for you and your lifestyle.
Here’s how to use the app to reach your calorie and protein targets without overthinking.
Follow the meal plan
The easiest and recommended way to hit your nutrition is by following the recipes in your plan. Everything is set up for you, so you can focus on eating well without the guesswork.
You’ll get a pre-loaded plan tailored to your calorie and macro targets.
Meals repeat by default, this keeps things simple and consistent.
You can swap any meal for another with similar calories.
Apply the swap for just one day or set it as your default for the whole week.
You can always tweak your plan or freestyle your meals but if you want the simplest “press play and go” approach, this option is for you.

Log your own food
This flexible option lets you eat what you like, as long as it fits your calorie and macro targets. The key is logging everything you eat and drink so your tracking stays accurate.
You can build your days using:
Recipes from the Studio Era library
Foods you’ve logged before
Your own meals and snacks
As you log, you’ll see your progress toward daily targets in real time. Focus on keeping calories near-perfect and protein close while the rest fall into place. You don’t need new meals every day. Repeating meals is smart, not lazy.

Simple tracking tips
Little habits can make nutrition tracking simple and stress-free:
Pre-log the night before so you can relax knowing it’s already handled.
Stick to a go-to breakfast or lunch you can repeat for a few days to save time.
Use simple swaps like leaner meats, smaller portions, or lighter sauces.
Set reminders in the app if you forget to log—no shame, just smart tools to help you stay consistent.
When you’re off-target
If you miss your calorie or protein goals one day, don’t panic.
Zoom out and look at your progress over the week, not just a single day.
Tracking is a skill, and each log helps you learn what your body needs. That’s the whole point.
