Feature Request: Enhancing Nutrition Plan Flexibility & Customization
Dear Trainerize Support and Development Team,
I am writing to suggest a few enhancements to the Nutrition Plan module. These updates would significantly improve the coaching experience and provide clients with a more personalized and professional journey.
- Custom Day Labeling (Beyond Day 1, Day 2)
Currently, days are locked as "Day 1," "Day 2," etc. I recommend allowing coaches to rename these days.
- Use case: This is especially important for carb cycling or specific training phases (e.g., renaming a day to "High Carb," "Low Carb," "Refeed Day," or "Rest Day").
- Customizable Meal Names
Coaches should be able to rename generic labels like "Meal 1" or "Breakfast" to something more specific.
- Use case: Renaming meals to "Pre-Workout Meal," "Post-Workout Shake," or "Office Snack."
- Adding Individual Food Items (Raw Ingredients)
Instead of having to create a full recipe for every entry, it would be helpful to add single food items directly to a meal.
- Use case: Adding "200 g boiled potatoes" and "150 g grilled chicken" directly, without needing to create a separate recipe first.
- Dedicated Supplements Section
A separate section specifically for supplements, independent of the daily meal plan, would improve clarity and organization.
- Use case: Clearer tracking for vitamins, creatine, or protein shakes, with fields for dosage and timing.
- General Nutrition Notes & Description
A dedicated text box at the top or bottom of the nutrition plan for general instructions or daily habits (e.g., water intake) would allow coaches to provide broader guidance that applies across the plan.
Reference
To help your team visualize these improvements, I can provide references and screenshots of similar interfaces that successfully implement these features. One example is:
I believe following a similar structure would make the Trainerize nutrition module more intuitive and professional.
Conclusion
These updates would make Trainerize much more versatile for professional coaches who utilize advanced nutritional strategies. I’m happy to discuss these points further or share additional references if helpful.
Thank you for your continued efforts to improve the platform.
Best regards,
Essam Flex
