How it works

Two minutes of questions.
Then the arithmetic, shown.

Nothing to install for this part, and no account to make. It runs in this browser tab, and what you type stays in it. Foodose for iPhone is the version that does it every morning.

  1. About a dozen questions, one at a time.

    Your body, your medication and dose, what you want from this, your cycle if you have one, how you eat, how this week has actually been, and a short safety check. One question on screen at a time, with a bar and a count showing how many are left. About two minutes. Nothing you type is stored.

  2. Nothing is calculated until you have finished.

    No number appears while you are still answering. An earlier version of this page showed a calorie target from the moment it loaded, worked out from placeholder answers, and that figure belonged to nobody. A target built on assumptions is not yours, so there isn't one until the last answer is in.

  3. Then it shows you its working.

    Your resting burn, your daily burn, your target, an estimate of how much you are likely to manage at your dose, and your protein. Each one with the arithmetic that produced it, your own numbers substituted in, and a link to the paper behind the method, under "Where these numbers come from" on your plan. You can disagree with it in specific terms rather than general ones.

  4. Three days of food you would actually eat.

    Built from the cuisines you chose, with anything you are allergic to removed entirely rather than substituted, and anything you would rather not eat left out. Protein sits first in every meal on purpose, and each dish opens to its method and what is on the plate, weighed. If we cannot fill three varied days from the cuisines you picked, we say so instead of handing you a generic plan wearing a label.

  5. A PDF you can take to an appointment.

    Print it or save it as a PDF from the plan: your numbers and where they came from, all three days with their methods, one day to a sheet, and the shopping list. Send the file to a partner or your prescriber. We keep nothing, so save it before you close the tab.

The numbers take two minutes. The rest is just eating.
