Meal Builder
Summer Soucek
Hi Everfit Team,
I wanted to report a major issue with the current food logging system that is significantly impacting both my coaching workflow and my clients’ ability to track nutrition accurately.
Current Issues:
No Meal Building Workflow
The “Search” function logs foods instantly as individual items.
There is no clear way to combine multiple ingredients into a single meal before logging.
The “Manual Add” option does not allow building a recipe—only manual macro entry.
No Ability to Save Meals Properly
There is no intuitive or consistent way to create and save a meal from multiple ingredients.
This prevents clients from logging common combinations (e.g., coffee + creamer, meal prep bowls, recipes).
Serving Sizes Cannot Be Set for Recipes
When attempting to create a recipe or meal, there is no option to define serving sizes.
This makes it impossible to accurately portion meals or reuse them in the future.
Impact:
Clients are forced to log ingredients individually instead of as a meal
Recipes cannot be saved or reused properly
Portion control and macro accuracy are compromised
This creates confusion, frustration, and reduces adherence
It is a significant downgrade in usability compared to other tracking platforms
Suggested Fixes:
Add a “Create Meal / Recipe Builder” flow where users can:
Add multiple ingredients before logging
Set total servings and portion sizes
Name and save the meal
Update the “+” button behavior to allow adding items into a temporary meal instead of logging instantly
Include a clear “Save as Meal” option within the logging process
Ensure serving sizes can be defined and adjusted when creating meals/recipes
This functionality is essential for coaches and clients who rely on accurate macro tracking and meal planning. At the moment, it is not possible to use the feature as intended.
I really enjoy using Everfit and want to continue building my business on this platform, but this issue is a major blocker.
Please let me know if there is a fix or update planned.

100%! It’s hard enough to get Clients to track, so reducing friction is critical. It makes no sense that a Client cannot log a ‘meal’, or save/create shortcuts to favourites. The current is tedious and leads to an unnecessary compliance issues. Using Everfit is supposed to remove obstacles, not add them.

Yes, this has been a battle and people don't want to use it! Too time consuming.

A big draw for me to everfit was the ability to track food but the app is not great for this because of many of the reasons mentioned above. Also the barcode option doesnt seem to work on most products here in the UK.
