  • Not bad, but a few things would make it easier.

    I like this app, but it would be nice if there was an easier to add previous meals from a previous day instead of having to enter it in manually each time. Also, i wish there was a way to edit an entry. You have to delete an entry if you make an error and reenter it. I like the count down of calories and protein so you can see what you have left. Just wish it was easier to use.

    Hi there! We are just about to release a new version which tackles both of these issues ✅. You’ll be able to copy items to various days and also edit items you’ve already added to your planner. Additionally, you’ll be able to edit recipes you’ve already created too 🙏🙏
  • Excellent

    Great app! Easy to use and feels nonjudgmental. Easy to input food and track everything.
  • Awesome

    Great app. Super helpful
  • Best Tracking App

    I love this app. It’s way better than other tracking apps I’ve used in the past. It’s easy to use and has a large library of foods. I also love that I can choose to have it show weekly calories. So if I go over on a daily amount, it doesn’t set me back, and I don’t obsess over it or feel guilt.
  • Doesn’t let me log in

    I was so excited to try the app and the program but the app isn’t responding (and i’ve been updating it, uninstalling/re-installing it as well)
    When i log in with my credentials it says they’re wrong even if they’re the same ones i use for the website
    I tried to create a new account with a different email and even then it won’t work giving error 403

    I contacted the support 3 times in the past month and half and haven’t heard back yet

    I hope to be hearing back after this review

    Hi there! Thanks for your note! As the app is only 2 weeks old you wouldn’t have been able to log you in a month ago. Please contact support@fitnesschef.uk so we can investigate what is going on with your account :)
  • Food History and Goal Weight

    This app is great! The only thing I would add (if I’m not mistaken) is an adjustable goal weight based on calories/day along with a history of logged foods so that I don’t have to keep typing in the same foods I ate yesterday and it will draw up my previous meals/foods and I can just click on that.

    Hi there! Thank you for your review! You can see saved recipes, recently added foods and custom foods by going to > FOOD > MY FOOD
  • UI makes sense

    Glad I decided to try the FC App! I’ve been using it for 3 days now. Food scanner works great and quick.
    I like the ability to make my own recipes and keep them for logging.
    Last night I needed a meal with high protein and low calories and I found the FC Filter for recipes very helpful. Dinner was great, even my family of five didn’t realize we were sticking to “moms diet”! Looking forward to logging in multiple times daily. Thanks!

  • Better than the rest!

    So far I am really enjoying this app. I have tried many others in the past and so far this one is a lot easier to navigate. I have never enjoyed logging food as it usually takes forever to do so accurately, but this app takes all of the tediousness out of it. Only thing that I hope gets updated soon are the activity options, they are a bit limited but that’s to be expected as the app is brand new. I hope they will add elliptical and rowing workouts to the list in the near future!

    Thanks for your review! Yes, we have big plans for the activity section - stay tuned! 👀
  • Great app for tracking food/fitness!

    I switched from My Fitness Pal to The Fitness Chef app and I’m very pleased! The app is user-friendly and bugs have been communicated and fixed swiftly since launch. I love the barcode scanning option for logging food which makes logging a breeze instead of a chore, and the option to save your own personal recipes also makes logging much easier. I haven’t tried any of the recipes in the app yet but I’m excited to give them a try! Overall it’s a great app so far and I recommend it for anyone looking for an easy to use food/fitness tracking app.

  • This is great!

    I’ve been following the Chef for a while now, and honestly his videos are the only ones in the whole weight loss and health community that give me hope, because they make me feel human and not bad for not being perfect. I love the app, and I recently started a plan with my main family doctor to regain my health, and I will be using this app as aid. I have the feeling the that I will succeed this time, because my expectations are realistic based on the chef advice along with my doctor’s.
