Built by Simon, an MSc Food Scientist and Level 4 Elite Sports Nutritionist, for plant-based athletes who want their fuelling done properly. VeraFuel gives you macro targets that match how you train, a coach that builds your carb-loading plan from your event, and daily tracking that shows where you stand at a glance. Most nutrition apps are built for everyone. VeraFuel is built for you. If you train hard and eat vegan or plant-based, generic calorie counters miss the things that actually matter. VeraFuel doesn't. It's a performance nutrition coach designed around the real science of plant-based athletics, the recovery advantage, and the nutrient gaps that come with it. It watches the nutrients plant-based training makes hardest. B12, iron, calcium, omega-3, iodine, the deficiencies high training volume and a plant-based diet are most likely to create. VeraFuel tracks them against sports-specific targets and tells you, in plain language, where you're covered and where to focus. It even captures fortified foods (plant milks, Huel, nutritional yeast) so nothing gets missed. It fuels your training, honestly. Tag a training day and your targets rise to fuel the work, extra carbs added on top of your baseline, never taken away on rest days. No "earn your food." No guilt. Log your session and VeraFuel matches your fuel to what you actually did. It interprets, it doesn't just display. Data isn't understanding. VeraFuel reads your trends and coaches you, your Performance, Readiness and Momentum scores each explain what they mean and how to improve them. Every number comes with a plain-English "here's what to do about it." Built around real training. - Barcode scanning + a fast "your usuals" one-tap log for repeat meals - Body-composition tracking that reads only your current phase (cut/bulk/maintain), so a fresh cut isn't judged against last month's bulk - Phase-aware macro and micro targets - Weekly review and a shareable progress card - Bring your history with you, import from MyFitnessPal in seconds - Your data, your control, a simple account key, or an offline backup file Honest over hype. VeraFuel won't promise you a transformation. It'll give you accurate, sports-science-grounded information you can act on and a coaching voice that's on your side. Plant-powered. Tracked honestly.
