## What is Balance by HomeCooks?

Balance makes reaching your fitness goals effortless and actually enjoyable. Track with friends, snap meals in seconds, and get coaching that adapts to how you eat. Not another soulless calorie counter.

Snap a photo. Done. Point your camera at any meal - homemade, restaurant, or takeaway. Balance identifies every item on the plate and logs the nutrition in seconds. Or search,
 scan a barcode, or just type what you ate. However you eat, Balance keeps up.

The only tracker your friends are on too. See what your friends are eating, react to meals, gift calories, and keep each other accountable with a private social feed. Reaching your
goals alone is hard. Doing it together is what makes it stick.

A coach that actually knows you. Eating too much fat this week? Balance spots it and suggests a real swap. Stuck on dinner? It plans one around what's left in your macros. Personalised to your goals and your habits - not generic advice.

Flexible weekly budgeting. Had a big Saturday? Balance spreads the difference across the rest of your week. Mark cheat days in advance and your other days adjust automatically. One meal doesn't have to derail your week.

UK food, done properly. Every Tesco product, every Sainsbury's ready meal, every Nando's order, every Greggs sausage roll. We're not an American app with a UK skin. When you search for what you actually eat, it's there.

Watch it working. Macro trends, weight progress, meal breakdowns - all in one dashboard. The kind of data that makes you think "this is actually working" and keeps you going.

Your goals. Your friends. Your way.
