30 Seconds Summary
RP Diet Coach app Algorithms

  • The RP Diet Coach app simplifies macro counting for ease of use, counting only specific macros from each food source, which enables quick meal planning.
  • To compensate for macro counting imprecisions, the app slightly undercuts daily macro totals and intentionally lowers calorie allotments to prevent overeating.
  • Weekly calorie adjustments in the app account for any small discrepancies in macro counting, ensuring precise diet adherence and effective results.
  • For non-listed foods, users should match macros closely (within 5-10g) without needing special calculations, promoting simplicity and consistency.
  • The app has reduced workout shake sizes based on recent research, suggesting smaller shakes allow more filling whole foods in other meals, aiding in hunger control.
  • Maintenance nutrients post-diet are initially based on general theory, with plans to introduce a learning algorithm for personalized adjustments based on prior diet phases.
  • Current maintenance plans start with fewer calories to prevent rapid fat gain, and are designed to encourage metabolic and psychological recovery post-diet.
