Meal Planner

3,900+ ingredients and 1,100+ recipes, with macros calculated automatically as you assemble a plan. You can build from scratch, start from recipes, or adjust portions to hit a client's targets without doing the arithmetic yourself.

Plans in coachway are living documents, not locked PDFs. You can adjust meals and portions anytime and the client's app updates instantly - so accommodating a hated ingredient or a new schedule takes minutes, not a rebuilt document.

Yes. In Norway the client food log is connected to Matvaretabellen, the Norwegian food composition table, so Norwegian foods come up by their Norwegian names, alongside barcode scanning, photo logging and quick add. In Denmark the whole food log is in Danish, and clients scan barcodes or search Danish foods such as rugbrød or skyr.

Yes - clients log their food in the same app and you see intake against their targets at check-in. Many coaches mix approaches: macro targets for experienced clients, full meal plans for beginners who want to be told exactly what to eat.

Go to Nutrition > Mealplans and click + New Meal Plan. Set the title the client sees, the daily calorie target, recipes per meal and a macro split, either a preset like 30/40/30 or your own custom split. Toggle on the meals you want, give each a share of daily calories that adds up to 100%, and save. Coachway then suggests recipes that fit each meal, and you can swap or lock any of them.

Open the client's profile, go to Nutrition, pick the plan in the dropdown if they have more than one, click Actions and choose Unassign Plan. The plan disappears from the client's app immediately but stays in your system as a Draft, so you can reassign it later. Delete Plan is different: it removes the plan permanently and cannot be undone.

Build a cookbook. Go to Library > Cookbooks, click Create Collections, add a title and description, then add sections and drop recipes in from the library, up to 200 per cookbook. In Details, choose Private, Public or Segmented (by tags, gender or specific clients) and click Publish. Clients browse it section by section and can log a recipe or add it to their meal plan.

Yes. In the Food tab, the client taps the basket icon inside a recipe to add all its ingredients, or adds single items by hand. The list sorts itself by grocery category and stays between sessions. It is client-only: coaches cannot see, build or send it. Units are not converted, so ingredients appear exactly as written in the recipe, for example 2 pcs or 200 g.

Yes, if you allow it. Turn the calculator on or off per client under Client > Settings > Nutrition > Calorie calculator. The client opens Calculate My Needs in the Food section, completes four steps and reviews daily kcal, estimated expenditure and protein, carb and fat targets before tapping Save My Targets. It does not change their meal split, and it respects nutrition info you have hidden.

Open the client and go to Development: the Nutrition card shows each week with days logged, average intake and every day against target, and Open full food log shows each item and how it was logged. Under Settings > Nutrition you set calorie and macro targets and pick a logging preset: Full access, Standard, Photo only or Plan only. Calories and macros can be hidden while logging stays on.
