Freeletics Nutrition

I tried to like this, but I couldn’t find any food options that I liked. I’m not happy with the choices it gives me for each meal. The ingredients, I either don’t have access to in my town or I flat out don’t like them. I’ve had the app for two years and not once did I make anything… the images all just looked so boring - bland and unappetizing. I think that’s what stops me the most, the images. They don’t get me excited to cook. Every time I open it, I disappoint myself. The only reason why I still have it is because it came with the other Freeletics fitness app.

As with Freeletics Bodyweight, this app highlights the dangers of using artificial intelligence to do the work that should be done by certified professionals. Because you don’t get to talk to a registered dietitian, this app will only leave you grasping at straws because it doesn’t adequately explain the meal plan it has set up for you and why. It also assumes that you’re only using Freeletics Bodyweight for workouts when there are better options led by certified trainers on YouTube and elsewhere. The fact that you don’t get assigned a real-life registered dietitian to help you make sense of all this should be reason enough for you to stay away. Freeletics will set you up to fail, especially if you’re starting over. It’s as simple as that (and yes, I gave Freeletics Bodyweight one star for similar reasons: No contact with a certified professional and nothing explained in plain English for beginners).

Die App an sich ist super, allerdings wurde sie seit tausend Jahren nicht mehr wirklich aktualisiert und wirkt im vergleich der zu Freeletics App super veraltet. Eine Kommunikation zwischen der App und Health ist leider ebenfalls nicht vorhanden. Es fehlt leider über an Feinheiten al

THE PROBLEM This app is really no different to other nutritional apps. Except you’ll pay $30.99 for three months that includes a coach. It lists out meals you’d be interested in eating. You go buy the ingredients from the shop and cook. But that doesn’t work because when you buy the ingredients needed you end up with an enormous over load of perishable food or stock that goes to waste and your shopping budget will triple. This is so backward and it’s not even this apps fault. THE SOLUTION Whether it’s this app’s company or not somebody needs to work with the global food supply chain problem from the ground up and package the ingredients so that you have the right portion controlled amount of ingredients for each meal you want to cook. A company called Blue Apron actually already does this through a subscription service but it’s quite limited choice, expensive and they only do dinners. So to the developers and the company I’d recommend innovation. I don’t know how you’ll do it but it will change the world not only from a supply chain view but also from a nutritional aspect by helping millions of people all over the world be more healthy while helping to sustain the environment. Please somebody … Elon Musk … somebody do this. I would but I don’t have the money nor the financial backing to help get it off the ground.

I used to use this for meal planning back in early college days when I was an athlete and didn’t know how to eat or cook. Recently downloaded it again to encourage me to quit ordering food and get my full servings of fruits and veggies and the recipes are delicious and nutritious. I am always full after a meal, and usually have food leftover. I just have a few issues with the app overall that most people have already mentioned. You can know you’re repeating meals, but the app makes it difficult to track that and so many of the meals are to be cooked and eaten immediately which isn’t always practical (especially for work lunches). Right now, you can only filter based on diet (no red meat, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, etc) and while I can easily monitor my own allergens, I would like at the very least to be able to say “don’t suggest this recipe again” or “don’t show me for [x amount of] days.” My biggest gripe is that it doesn’t allow for you to shop seasonally. It would make my life so much easier if I could filter based on the season so that I don’t have to constantly search for an alternative meal because the app wants me to shop like it’s mid summer instead of mid winter and my budget says no.

The last update was at least 1 year ago. Its pretty buggy and somehow behaves weirdly when I try to use it on my other phone. Recipes seem to not sync even though I‘m opening the app and am waiting for quite some time. But sometimes, it does sync an I see the recipes. Also, the app is still not fitted to the iPhone 11 screen (and I‘d assume many other models). Further, apart from those bugs, it‘s really way past time for some more recipes and functions, like being able to customize recipe sizes.

This app is pretty great. There are lots of options, the meals are pretty good, and you can tailor it to your dietary preferences. My only issue with it is that it calls for a small portions of ingredients that can only be purchased in a set quantity. For example, if a recipe calls for 2/3 of a can of beans, or 1/2 of a banana, the leftovers don't get used in another recipe. So if you were trying to follow the app closely, it's hard to find a recipe that will use the other 1/3 of the beans or the other 1/2 of the banana. I don't like wasting food so I have to divert away from the app to get the rest of the food cooked/eaten.

Dear Freeletics, LET US USE OUR LEFTOVERS! Why do I only need a splash of coconut for one recipe out of the whole week? That is impractical. Y’all are smart. Figure it out. There needs to be a way to maximize the ingredients. People buy food days at a time. I hate how much food waste this app suggests.

As a programmer I really don’t understand how hard it could possibly be to simply add a feature that lets you select one or two recipes for the week (like other apps do), but that’s the biggest problem with this app. Not sure what’s going on with whoever is leading this dev team but Jesus just add the feature. If you want the app for good recipes then sure but if your actually trying to track anything in a practical way just use another app... Such a waste of good recipes.

Θα ήθελα να περιέχει ημερολόγιο διατροφής ώστε να αξιολογώ το τι έφαγα και το πως αισθανόμουν και να μπορώ να διορθώνω την διατροφή μου. Επίσης τα προκαθορισμένα menu είναι αρκετά δεσμευτικά, με την έννοια ότι δεν μπορείς να φτιάξεις τα γεύματα σου με άλλες επιλογές και να σου προσθέτει τος θερμίδες
