Coach nutrition habits

Track nutrition, training, and lifestyle habits long-term, automatically. Build consistency with clients far beyond a single meal plan.

Two ways clients can log their food

Photo Food Diary
Photo logging, no weighing or guesswork
  • Clients photograph meals as they eat them, no portion math required.
  • Track water and other drinks alongside meals.
  • Give real-time feedback and encouragement on every entry.
  • Set reminders so clients never forget to log a meal.
MyFitnessPal Integration
Optional two-way sync for clients who already track there
  • Clients already logging in MyFitnessPal keep their food history and habits.
  • Macros, calories, and micronutrients sync into your dashboard automatically.
  • PT Distinction's own barcode and AI food scanner does the same job with no third party app needed.
  • Clients keep the app they know, you get the data in one place.
New Feature

Log any food in seconds. Scan, snap, done.

Your clients expect frictionless tracking. PT Distinction's built-in Photo Food Diary and Barcode and AI Food Scanner remove every barrier to accurate nutrition logging.

  • Clients tap the barcode icon in food search, scan any packaged product, and the name and nutrition details log instantly.
  • Barcode not recognized? Snap a photo of the packaging. Our AI identifies the product and adds accurate nutrition data automatically.
  • Give real-time feedback and encouragement on every entry, and set reminders so clients never forget to log.
  • Free on every plan. No add-ons, no upgrades needed.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in PT Distinction's nutrition coaching tools?

Every plan includes the AI Meal Planner, pre-made nutrition templates built by degree-qualified nutritionists, habit coaching, a photo food diary, and two-way MyFitnessPal sync. Nothing is gated behind a paid add-on.

How does the MyFitnessPal integration work?

PT Distinction syncs two-way with MyFitnessPal, so clients can keep logging in the app they already know. You get automatic daily summaries of macros and calories, access to over 1 million grocery items and 200,000+ restaurant meals, and built-in barcode scanning, all without asking clients to switch tools.

Do I have to build meal plans from scratch?

No. The AI Meal Planner builds personalized plans in seconds based on each client's goals, macros, and preferences. You can also start from a pre-made template or build your own recipes and dishes, then save and reuse them across clients.

Does nutrition coaching cost extra?

No. Unlike Trainerize ($20–45/month for its meal planner add-on) and Everfit ($33/month for meal plans and recipes), nutrition coaching is included on every PT Distinction plan at no additional cost.

Can clients track their habits alongside their nutrition?

Yes. Built-in habit coaching lets you set and monitor lifestyle habits, like hydration, sleep, and steps, right alongside meal and macro tracking, so you can coach the whole picture, not just food.
