Case Study: Eat By Design Macronutrient

Short form

An extension to Eat By Design that builds macro and micronutrient calculations into every meal, day and weekly plan, removing hours of manual maths for practitioners.

The challenge

Health professionals needed to build meal plans that met each client's macro and micronutrient targets, and to educate their clients as they did it. Doing the calculations by hand for every recipe, day and week was slow and easy to get wrong.

What we built

We extended the Eat By Design platform to include macronutrient data and calculations across meals, days and entire weekly plans. Practitioners can now put together plans that meet a client's macro and micronutrient requirements, and educate the client at the same time.

The outcome

The extension gives practitioners a key piece of the puzzle and removes friction from their daily work, saving the time they used to spend calculating recipe and plan nutrients by hand. Their customers get a more thorough breakdown of each meal's macro and micronutrients, and a clearer awareness of what they are eating. A small, high-value addition to a platform that was already working.
