## What is Basal?

Your calories and your training, finally in one app. Basal works out how much you should eat, then adjusts that number as your weight actually changes. Free, with no ads and no account needed.

A CALORIE TARGET THAT ADJUSTS TO YOU
Your needs start from a recognised formula (Mifflin-St Jeor). Basal then compares what you eat with how your weight moves to refine the estimate of your real expenditure. Your daily target also accounts for your steps and workouts. For a cut, a bulk or maintenance.

LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS
Food search (the French Ciqual table and Open Food Facts), barcode scanner, typical dishes and restaurant chains, or your meal typed as one sentence: "150 g chicken, 200 g rice, an apple". Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre, meal by meal.

BUILT IN FRANCE
The food database is the French national one, shown with English names, and barcode scans mainly cover products sold in France.

YOUR GYM LOG
873 exercises, your routines, sets, weights and reps, supersets, a rest timer and your personal records. Running, cycling and other sports: calories burned are estimated for you.

RECIPES, MEAL PLANNER AND SHOPPING LIST
50 illustrated recipes, weighed to the gram and scaled to the number of servings. Meal ideas that fit what you have left for the day, a weekly planner, a shopping list and a cooking mode. Plus your own recipes, with their nutrition values.

YOUR WEIGHT, WITHOUT THE NOISE
A moving average smooths out day-to-day swings, so you see your real trend and pace.

A COMMUNITY OF RECIPES AND ROUTINES
Import recipes, routines and programmes shared by others and checked before publication. Achievements and a daily streak reward consistency, without guilt for a missed day.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
Without an account, everything stays on your phone. If you create an optional account, your data is synced and stored in the European Union. No ads, no data selling. Export to JSON or CSV at any time. Steps can come from Apple Health if you switch it on.

FREE, WITH PREMIUM IF YOU WANT MORE
Food, weight, activity and strength tracking, recipes, the meal planner and the shopping list are free. Basal Premium adds the analyses and assistants: the weekly review with PDF export, your metabolism over time, volume per muscle group, protein on training days compared with rest days, advanced nutrition strategies (carb cycling, refeeds, diet breaks, reverse dieting) and the "Plan my meals", "Prep my week" and "Optimise my week" assistants.

Monthly or yearly; the price in your currency is shown before you buy. Auto-renewing subscription: payment is charged when you confirm the purchase and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel at any time in your App Store account settings.

Basal gives estimates to help you plan. It does not replace advice from a health professional.
