for nutrition coaches
nutrition coaching, with the data joined up
Set flexible macro and calorie ranges, see compliance over time, and read nutrition alongside training and body composition, not in a silo.
the friction of nutrition in a silo
Your client logs macros in a consumer app that was never built for a coach. You get a screenshot of a single day, with no view of the trend, no link to their training, and no way to set the flexible ranges good coaching needs. The numbers live somewhere you cannot read them, so your advice stays generic and the client tracks alone.
nutrition, with the data joined up
Trainbase puts the food database, the diet you set, and each client's compliance in the same model as their training and body composition, so you read the whole picture in one place.
| a consumer macro app | trainbase | |
|---|---|---|
| targets | one exact number to hit or miss | flexible macro and calorie ranges |
| calories | a stored field that can drift | derived from macros, always agreeing |
| the coach's view | a screenshot of one day | compliance over time, in app |
| the full picture | diet alone, no context | read beside training and body |
| cost | a per-seat subscription | $1 per client, all in |
what you coach with
A real food database and a model that joins diet to everything else.

the honest answers
Can i set ranges instead of exact numbers?
Yes. You set macro and calorie ranges, not single targets, because a range a client hits most days beats a perfect number they hit half the time and abandon. The food model is built for flexible coaching, not rigid perfectionism.
Where do calories come from in the food database?
Calories are derived from macros, not stored as a separate field: 4 calories per gram of protein and carbohydrate, 9 per gram of fat. So the numbers cannot drift apart, and a food's energy always agrees with the macros you set against it.
Can i read nutrition next to training and body composition?
Yes, and that is the point. Nutrition, training, and body metrics live in one model, so you read compliance over time beside the work in the gym and the change on the scale, instead of cross-referencing screenshots from three apps.
coach nutrition without the obsession.
Flexible ranges, a real food database, and compliance read beside training and body, at a dollar a client.
