Rustic Wisdom Why should being healthy and vibrant even be a question?! Especially when every cell in our body is working tirelessly towards our well-being… Today, it is not uncommon to see someone pop pills everyday even in their mid 30’s. It is rare to see someone not do that in their 50’s and 60’s. Simple things like having regular monthly cycles or conceiving a baby don’t seem to happen for many, without a pill. Basic metabolic activities need external interference without which a lot of us can’t survive. But for thousands of years, people lived well, even into their late 90s, without any support from outside. TOP FEATURES 1. You can Follow your Diet plan from your favorite Dietitian/Nutritionist. 2. Track your Steps and Calories. 3. You Don't have to keep the different app for your Water and Meal Reminders. 4. Update your Medical Information and Food Specifications. 5. Track your health data with a nutrition calculator that breaks down your protein, fiber and carbohydrate intake with accurate macro-nutrient mapping. 6. Chat with your Dietitian Anytime, Anywhere. 7. Keep track of your progress in terms of weight and measurements. ALL IN ONE PLACE. Other Feature: 1. This app uses the apple health kit (health app) to track your Daily Steps and Calories. Consult your doctor before making any health decisions.

The only app where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek writes your day, week and month reports. PastePlate runs no cloud coach of its own and has no API connection to your chat. No tokens billed by us, no background calls. The app copies prompts; you paste into your own chat (browser or app). Your logbook stays local on your iPhone or iPad. Works with your existing subscription, including free tiers at Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek. We never pass on chat usage fees. Not an official app of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or xAI. Calorie apps give charts. PastePlate gives personally written coach reports from your chat: structured and saved word for word in your logbook. YOUR NUTRITION. YOUR PERSONAL GOALS. YOUR AI COACH. After each meal you get more than numbers. Your coach explains what your choice means for your day: macros, satiety, fat quality, plant variety. You see your daily progress vs. your goal. Targeted feedback after every meal; at the end of the day, week and month the same coach zooms out to full reports. OPTIONAL LONGEVITY MODE Turn it on in your profile for a plant diversity focus inspired by the American Gut Project: 30 unique plants per week via a strict 15-category protocol. PastePlate counts unique plants automatically. In week view you see your progress (e.g. 40 / 30); in the plant explorer you see which species you logged and which categories are still empty. Your coach receives what's already in your logbook this week and steers toward new plants instead of repeats. With Longevity on, chat and reports also focus on fat quality (more unsaturated, 0 g trans fat) and fibre. THE SAME SECTIONS IN DAY, WEEK AND MONTH REPORTS Your coach zooms out: today, past week, full month. Personal goal Themes from your coach note: meals, timing and how you felt; patterns across days, weeks or months. Weight status Weigh-in vs. previous reading and target weight; trend and distance to goal. Body context BMI, FFMI and body fat % from measurements. Calories and protein Energy balance and protein vs. goal. Fluid intake Logged ml vs. goal; tips when drinks were missing. Protein and satiety Protein spread across the day or recurring patterns; link with hunger. Daily total and nutrition analysis Macro overview and intake vs. goals. Longevity and plant variety With Longevity on: unique plants, 15-category progress and week goal. Food quality Fat balance, fibre and processing level; trend over the period. Behaviour and patterns Eating behaviour: timing, snacking, weekend vs. weekdays. Your wins and what went well Concrete food or drink choices in the period. Growth opportunities Learning moments about meals or timing. Next steps Max. 3 actions: for tomorrow, next week or next month. Personal coach note (optional): one free-text field at setup. Allergies, shift work, histamine sensitivity, or questions like "Why am I exhausted every afternoon?" Your coach writes Personal goal from your themes. How it works: 1. Start your coach from the app (copy paste, no API) 2. Log meals in chat: feedback per meal + report when you want 3. Paste it back into PastePlate Health information and sources PastePlate shows general nutrition insights, not medical advice. Open Health sources in the app menu for WHO and other references behind the norms in the app. Also in the app: daily logbook, weekly menu, shopping list, smartwatch burn, plant explorer, on-device backup, 14 languages. 7-day free trial, then €8.99/month or €79.99/year via the App Store. Cancel in Apple ID settings. Chat subscription separate. PastePlate adds no chat fees. Food diary with personal coaching, not medical advice.
