Download the Free app and create your profile
Eattie is on the App Store for Apple devices — search Eattie Nutrition Coach. Per the listing, it supports compatible iPhone and iPod touch (typically recent iOS versions), iPad, and Mac on supported Apple Silicon. That Apple-first approach helps Eattie integrate cleanly with HealthKit and feel consistent across devices.
The app is free to download and free to try — you can start logging meals and chatting with your coach without subscribing. Upgrade to Eattie Pro anytime for unlimited coaching.
Onboarding: what you are actually setting up
Onboarding usually takes about two to three minutes. Expect questions such as current weight, main goal (for example weight loss, muscle gain, or general wellness), dietary preferences and restrictions, and rough activity level. Each answer shapes how your AI coach talks to you, which calorie and macro targets you see, and which meal ideas surface from day one. You can update any of this later in your profile — if your goal shifts from loss to maintenance, the app can recalibrate tone and targets. Treat setup as a starting point, not a contract.
Log your first meal in under a minute
Photo logging: snap, review, confirm
The fastest path is usually a photo: open the app, use the camera flow, point at your plate. Eattie’s AI identifies components, estimates portion sizes, and returns calories and macros. You review and confirm.
If something looks off, fix it in chat — e.g. “I only ate half the bowl” or “no dressing on the salad.” Photo estimates are handy and often consistent enough for real habit change; like any estimation method, accuracy can vary by dish complexity. A quick correction in chat fixes most edge cases. For building a practice, consistency usually beats decimal-perfect logs.
Chat, text, and voice when a photo is not practical
Not every meal is photogenic. Use text or voice to describe what you ate (“grilled chicken wrap and side salad for lunch”). The AI maps that to estimates and adds it to your day. You describe food the way you would to a friend instead of hunting dropdowns.
Have your first real conversation with the coach
The coach is the main interface — not an afterthought. After you log something, open chat and ask something specific to you. Examples worth trying on day one:
- “What’s a high-protein breakfast I can make in under ten minutes?”
- “I had a burger and fries for lunch — does that still fit my goals today?”
- “I have chicken, sweet potato, and spinach. What should I make for dinner?”
- “How much protein should I eat for my goal?”
Replies should reflect your profile and logs, not generic boilerplate. Day one is good — week two is better. As Eattie sees your patterns (protein shortfalls on busy days, skipped breakfast before workouts, late snacks), suggestions get more personal. Around day seven you might hear a concrete swap instead of generic advice.
Apple Health
Turn on HealthKit during onboarding or later in settings. If you use Apple Watch or other apps that write activity to Health, Eattie can factor that in sooner.
Free tier and Eattie Pro
Eattie is free to try with a free tier that includes daily AI chat coaching, journey tracking, reminders, and more — enough to see whether the habit fits your life before paying. When you want unlimited coaching, upgrade to Eattie Pro.
Pro plans and prices are listed on the App Store; annual billing often costs less per month if you plan to stick around. To manage or cancel a subscription, use: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Eattie.
Your first-week plan
Days 1–3: Only goal is consistency. Log every meal — imperfect logs beat empty days. Turn on gentle meal reminders if helpful. Check in with the coach once a day. Do not optimize yet; build the reflex.
Days 4–7: Open your progress view. Where are the gaps — protein on busy days, skipped meals, evenings over target? Ask the coach for one specific change and try one suggested meal. That shift — from logging to acting on what you see — is where results usually start without needing a dramatic diet overhaul.
What to do next
Open the App Store listing for Eattie, try it free, photograph your next meal, and ask the coach one real question. By the end of week one you should have a clearer picture of how you actually eat — and a coach that already knows your patterns.
