Interface stops working immediately upon cancellation
I am still in the middle of a month that was paid for, but was on the fence about continuing a $30/month subscription and pre-emptively cancelled in the middle of the month to avoid getting charged next month when I really hadn’t yet made up my mind about how useful the app was going to be for me. Immediately, the app lost functionality to interface with my Garmin workouts and won’t refresh data.
I also hadn’t been in love with challenges using Lose It to log nutrition data and having that interface with Apple Health and then sync with Fuelin via that avenue, because it lead to incorrect macro data showing up in the Fuelin app.
If I was on the fence before about continuing the subscription, the abrupt failure of a service that I have paid for for a couple of more weeks to continue working for me had cinched the deal.

Performance changing
The first week using this app completely changed my performance in competitive gravel cycling.
I have always struggled with Under fueling and questioned why I was not able to increase my mileage and performance.
Now I am able to push my body further and recover faster with proper nutrition numbers.
Also has saved me a lot of time that was wasted trying to think of something to eat or what to buy at the grocery store.
Only thing I would ask differently is a change up of recipe recommendations.

Wouldn't recommend for marathoners
I downloaded the app to help do a double check on my fueling in peak marathon training. I was disappointed to see that even with a performance fueling setting , the protein requirements were well above standard recommendations (2.2g/kG+ vs 1.6-2) and carbs were low!! This is setting up marathoners for low energy availability. For example, it suggested I only have 30g carbs after a 13 mile run with 45 min tempo workout which is far too low. I would not recommend for marathon runners.

Needs better integration
I use Garmin Connect with my Garmin watch for tracking everything as well as the Runna app for marathon training. I’m really enjoying the Fuelin app but it is really annoying and frustrating that I have to manually input every planned workout instead of Fuelin pulling that information from either Runna or my Garmin calendar. Runna pushes my planned workouts to Garmin but for some reason Fuelin isn’t able to grab that information. I also use an AI coach called Rest or Train that has all of my info from Runna and Garmin. Fuelin has a great concept but still lots of work to do in the integration department! It also seems glitchy when entering my upcoming runs/workouts. In the beginning I wasn’t able to enter planned mileage but Fuelin was able to fix that problem. Now I’m having trouble getting dates to “stick”. I have to enter the date several times in the process of adding the manual activity or it just reverts back to today’s date. Very annoying.

Not just a fixed meal plan
I love how Fuelin adjusts to my training and daily fluctuations. It helps ensure that I meet my energy needs for my cycling. It’s not just a meal plan, it’s basically a coach in your pocket available 24/7.
Definitely recommend if you want to improve your performance and also manage body composition. Remove the guess work and trust the process

Misleading free trial
It gave me a free trial option. I tried it for a day and it wasn’t for me. I went to cancel my trial. It took me several questions and then it said I had to cancel it in my app subscription. I had none in my apps and I kept checking it. A week later it billed me. This time it gave me an option to cancel in my billing portal (which wasn’t available during the free trial).

Fuelin
This is a great app but it’s a bit confusing and maybe a tad complicated when you start using it. You have to invest a far bit of time watching all the videos and tutorials
No free version
I don’t have a problem with this being a premium app, but you should probably explain that at some point before you have people sign up and share their personal information. Seems like a way to just harvest personal information.
Almost Great
My main hesitation with this app is that my training plan in Final Surge does not sync to Fuelin until after the workout is complete, which then recalculates everything for the rest of the day. I thought that it would sync before in order to fuel properly before and during. It also wasn’t clear the options of AI or working with a human. Maybe this is beginner user error, but it’s not quite what I was expecting. I’ve used several macro apps, and this is basically the same as all the others. It may be a different story in the higher plan that pairs you with a human, but I don’t have the budget for that right now. I guess you get what you pay for!

It works, getting results, app is improving
Issues with Fuelin:
Can’t change sleep and wake times so when my actual workouts upload everything is thrown off.
Doesn’t save favorites across different meal types.
Often can not process what is journaled and get error messages.
Lots of bar codes give errors.
The recommended recipes are non specific to the meal macros, few have matched my recommended macros
Food journal is improving but takes longer to use compared to programs I’ve used in the past.
Only cool feature is the macros adjusted to your workouts. It’s made a huge difference and I’ve had results.

Inaccurate
The logging is extremely inaccurate and unable to log in grams or oz for accuracy
Making nutrition fun!!
As a runner, data is gold and I can never get enough of it!! I was a MFP user but have transitioned to Fuelin and it is a game changer!!!! The smart meals are GOAT and telling it what ingredients I have and it telling me how much of what to weigh to hit my macros is awesome!! I’m not making meals anymore with a scrap bit of paper with figures and equations scribbled all over it! AND I am feeling STRONG!!! There is no afternoon slump because I am so much more aware of timing for meals. I was very much a ‘protein’ focused girlie and I didn’t realise how little carbs I was consumed until it was in my face! Huge wake up call and probably great timing because I’m sure an injury was imminent… THANK YOU FUELIN!!

Great tracker
I know I’m am eating enough for my training which eases my mind.
10 minutes wasted into a pay wall
Marathoners: don’t waste your ten minutes like I did.
They push you through a long quiz first, capture all your data, and then nonchalantly hit you with a $29/month paywall. No trial. Not even one screen of the actual app.
I was very motivated to get with the program. I’m mid-training block and ready to invest in my nutrition. But I was let down by how the mechanics of this work: pay to play before you’ve heard a single note of the tune.
Instead of a nutrition plan I got a quiz and a checkout page, and they got all my data for free. Frustrating to say the least.

Dangerously flawed
Shockingly bad. The carb recommendations after over an hour of max effort is zero and for the day below starvation levels even on ‘standard’ weight loss mode. The carbs actually are higher on aggressive mode. This is appalling and dangerous. So many other things wrong with it I don’t have time to write them. The food logging is easy. That’s it.

Improves nutrition to improve performance
This app is super easy to use and helpful in planning/adjusting nutrition during high load days and rest days. I love that the macros are planned around my Trainingpeaks sessions.
Detailed and accurate
I thought I was planning and tracking well until Fuelin introduced some real discipline. Significant improved body composition and supporting increased race performance
Love it!
This app has been a game changer for me and my training. I am a marathon runner and have been using this app since November 2025z since then, I have lost some weight and have made a new half marathon PR by using gf this as my fueling gf guide for become, during and after training runs. I love how it keeps me in check with my macros to be sure I am getting what my body really needs.

Finally an integrated App
Finally an app that actually does what it says on the Tin, the ability to See on “Paper” what my body needs and what it’s actually getting through the nutrition I’m using to Fuel for Ironman training. It has made an enormous difference in my training performance and energy levels. Keep up evolving the App it’s 1 of my number 1 tools in the training bag.

Need to edit calories of food item
This app could be pretty close to perfect if it allowed you to edit all the information about food that you log. I can edit the serving size, as well as macros (protein, carbs, fat). But then it does its own calculation for the calories and it’s so far off and wrong from the nutrition label. I should have the ability to adjust the total calories for the food time too. I can do that is literally all the other food tracking apps.
