Hey Everyone,
SmartCoach™ is back and better than ever. What started from Reddit has moved on to grow into something special all thanks to you.
# What is SmartCoach™, you say?
* It’s nutrition tracking software that helps you determine your maintenance calories, and then gives you guidance on how to change your intake based on your goals and evidence-based recommendations.
# Why’s it special?
* Our software has an underlying machine learning algorithm. That sounds like a black box so let me explain. We have data from over 700 people that had their energy expenditure calculated using doubly labelled water. Our software uses that as its backbone, and simultaneously runs your data through multiple iterations as you update it each day with your body weight and calories.
# Don’t other programs that already do that?
* Kind of. We have two main competitors – Avatar Nutrition and Carbon Diet App. The difference is the data the system is built on and the underlying algorithm.
* This is not your standard excel formula formatted on “if that-then this” like our competitors. We can run multiple simulations at once. In fact, our algorithm runs 9 iterations of your data at one time. It then adjusts your calorie recommendation to the one that fits the best.
# Are you going to improve it?
* Yes. We are working on being able to pull in data from your favourite fitness apps (MFP, etc) so that you don’t have to manually input calories or body weights each day. That’ll take a few months, but it’s our top priority. We will also offer macronutrient ranges for different goals or types of people (e.g., athletes) soon and launch mobile apps for Android and IOS in the coming few months.
# How much does it cost?
It’s free to test out for 21 days. To continue using SmartCoach™ after the free trial, it currently costs $8.99 per month. Keep a lookout for the offers going on, on the SmartCoach subreddit.
