Targets that move with the session
Tell it whether today is a hard day, an easy day or a rest day. Your calorie and macro targets shift with it, so a long ride and a recovery day stop sharing one flat number.
For athletes cutting or recomping
Lose the fat. Keep the training.
Most food logs give you one number for every day. Your week isn’t flat, so your eating shouldn’t be. PlatePace is an iOS food log whose targets follow your training calendar, built for people trying to drop body fat without wrecking the sessions that matter.

What the first version does
Ranges, not fake precision
Logged food and daily burn are both estimates. PlatePace shows a range and says so, instead of a to-the-calorie figure that implies accuracy nobody has.
A weekly review that smooths the noise
Scale weight jumps around. The weekly view shows a smoothed weight trend next to intake against target and how often you landed in range.
Fast manual logging
Type a meal, repeat yesterday's breakfast in one tap, or quick-add macros. There is no food database or barcode scanner in the first version, on purpose: it keeps logging quick and the app small.
What it isn’t
- Not medical or nutrition advice, and not a treatment for anything. It does arithmetic on what you tell it.
- Not finished. It’s in development, iOS only at first, and there are no users or reviews to show you yet.
- Not a coach. There is no AI plan that rewrites your week; you set the session type and it adjusts targets.
- Not a data harvester. In the first version your food and weight entries stay on your phone.
Guides for eating around training
Practical, source-cited reading while the app is built. General information, not medical advice.

Splitting one weekly calorie budget across hard sessions and days off, without starving the sessions that matter.
- Carb targets for hard and easy training days (g/kg explained)
Grams per kilogram for hard, moderate, easy and rest days, and why a cut sits at the low end of each range.
- Protein timing around training: what matters and what doesn't
Daily total first, then spacing. What the post-workout window really is, and how to set up meals on a cut.
- Recomp nutrition for lifters: calories, protein and patience
Who recomp works best for, how small the deficit should be, and the signs that it is working.
- Calorie tracking for endurance athletes without under-fuelling
Why watch calorie numbers mislead, how to fuel long days in a deficit, and the warning signs of eating too little.
- How to eat while cutting for a race or meet
Work back from the date: finish the deficit before the taper, then eat for the event, not the scale.
- A food log built for training weeks vs a generic calorie counter
Category comparison: flat daily targets vs targets that follow your sessions, and when each one is the better fit.
