THE PLAIT GUIDE
Build a meal plan you can actually follow
Plait combines a stated nutrition goal, an estimated calorie target and weighed food portions. The best starting point in the app is a profile and a plan that reflect your preferences and practical constraints.
Complete the profile first
In Settings, add the profile information you are comfortable sharing and list food exclusions. Plait uses completed wearable days when enough are available; otherwise it labels a profile-based or general starting estimate. Missing wearable data does not prevent you from reviewing a saved meal plan.
Check the food, not just the totals
Each newly generated meal uses foods from a validated reference catalog. Calories are calculated from the protein, carbohydrate and fat amounts using 4/4/9 arithmetic. The app adjusts ingredient portions to fit the day, rather than asking you to trust nutrition numbers invented independently by a model. Reference values remain estimates for real food brands and preparation.
Make the plan usable
Open Shopping & prep to choose days, scale shopping quantities, download your list and mark prepared portions. The plan describes one personal portion; making extra does not increase your personal target. Check ingredient labels and preparation for allergens even when an exclusion is saved. Review your actual progress over time instead of treating a wearable estimate as a guaranteed outcome.
