The calculator
Is the calculator really free?
Yes. You get your resting metabolism, your total daily burn, your Active Burn, your calorie target and your macros for free. No email needed to see your results.
How accurate is it?
It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, one of the most widely used formulas for resting metabolism, plus your daily steps and your training. Every calculator gives an estimate. Use it as your starting point, and your plan shows you how to adjust based on your real progress.
Why do you ask about my steps and training?
Because that's where people differ the most. Two people with the same weight can burn hundreds of calories apart depending on how much they move. We call that your Active Burn.
Your strategy
What exactly do I get?
- 3 full days of meals at your exact calorie level, with protein, carbs and fat already counted (rotate them)
- A swap guide so you never get bored
- A 7-day grocery list in US portions (oz, cups)
- A 60-minute meal prep plan
- Eating out, weekends and alcohol guide
- An "Adjust your plan" page for every 2 weeks
- 4 weekly trackers for your first 30 days
- 30-day check-in emails and a free beginner gym program
Do I have to count calories?
No. The math is already done. Your meals are built at your calorie level, so you just follow the plan.
What kind of food is in the plan?
Real food you can find at any grocery store: chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, oats, rice, potatoes, fruit and vegetables. Green vegetables are unlimited.
I'm vegetarian, or I have allergies. Will it work for me?
The plans use chicken, fish, eggs and dairy, and the swap guide gives you equivalent options. They aren't built for a fully vegan diet yet. If you have a food allergy, always check every ingredient and swap as needed.
Which plan should I pick: fat loss, maintenance or performance?
The calculator picks it for you based on your goal. Fat loss strategies go from 1,300 to 3,500 calories a day, maintenance and performance from 1,800 to 4,500.
What if my body changes and I need a different calorie level?
That's normal. Your plan includes an "Adjust your plan" page that tells you when to move up or down. You can also take the free calculator again anytime.
Ordering and delivery
How do I receive my plan?
By email, the moment your order is confirmed. Look for "Your plan is ready - The Metabolic Coach" and tap Download my plan (PDF). The link never expires. Lost it? Visit Find my plan.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's a one-time payment of $47 USD. No recurring charges.
Can I print it or use it on my phone?
Both. It's a PDF that works on any phone, tablet or computer, and prints well on regular paper.
Can I share it with a friend?
Your plan is built for your numbers and licensed for your personal use. Your friend should take the free calculator: their number is probably different from yours.
