Why I built BiteSync

As a dietitian, there’s one problem I see more than any other. People know the goal they want to reach — to lose weight, to build muscle, or simply to eat better — but not the steps that get them there.

A target on its own doesn’t tell you what to eat on Tuesday. The gap between “I want to hit my protein” and a week of meals that actually does it is where most people get stuck.

Planning meals in advance closes that gap. When the week is planned, you can see your intake before you eat it, track it as you go, and make changes while there’s still time. It gives your goal a structure, rather than leaving it to good intentions.

The evidence points the same way. In a large study of 40,554 adults, people who planned their meals ahead ate a more varied, better-quality diet. Here’s what that study found.

That’s why I built BiteSync. It works out your calorie and protein targets, plans a week of meals from your own recipes to hit them, and turns that week into one shopping list — with the nutrition calculated from UK food composition data, not guessed.

It’s the structure I want everyone working towards a goal to have.
