Custom calorie and macro tracking for every person at the table

Here is a complaint we heard early and often: husband and wife sitting at the same table, eating the exact same dinner, in the exact same portion. Same scoop of rice. Same piece of chicken. Same everything.

The household-level numbers looked right. But two adults with different bodies, different goals, and different daily calorie needs were getting one identical plate. That is not personalization. That is averaging.

We rebuilt how the planner handles macros so this stops happening.

Each person gets their own targets

Every adult in your household has a personal calorie and macro target. We figure them out during signup from age, sex, weight, height, activity level, and what you are trying to do — lose weight, maintain, build muscle. You can also enter custom numbers if you already track your own and like the targets you have.

These targets are stored per person. Your daily calorie goal and your partner's are kept separate, and the planner is aware of both whenever it builds your week.

Then the planner actually uses them

The fix was getting plans to vary serving sizes per person at the same table. So if you eat at 2,400 calories a day and your partner eats at 1,800, dinner is the same dish — but your portion is bigger. Different scoops of rice. Different chicken thighs. Same recipe, different plates.

The shopping list still aggregates everything, so you still buy what the whole household needs. Just the plates change.

A check we run on every plan

We watch for the old bug now. On every plan, before it ships, we check: are people with very different targets actually getting different portions? If two adults have meaningfully different calorie goals and the plan gives them identical plates anyway, the plan stops. It either gets fixed or surfaces for review. We do not ship the average-it-out plan we used to.

There is a sibling check for individual macro accuracy: each person, each day, has to land within roughly 15 percent of their own target. Not the household average. Their own number.

What custom macros look like in practice

By the end of your first week with the plan, you should see something like this:

• You at 2,400 calories: a full bowl of rice, a hearty piece of chicken, a side of roasted vegetables.
• Your partner at 1,800: a smaller bowl, a smaller piece of chicken, the same vegetables.
• The shopping list assumes both of you are eating, sized accordingly.

You stop feeling like the planner is treating you as a household number. You start feeling like it is treating you as two people.

Want to track macros without the spreadsheets?

The whole plan is built around personalized macros from day one. You can override the targets we suggest if you have your own coach's numbers or a specific protein goal. The plan rebuilds around whatever you set.

Start a free trial. Enter real numbers for yourself and anyone else eating with you. Watch the difference between a plan that knows you and a plan that splits the difference.
