# Fork Fit — Frequently Asked Questions

> Common questions about Fork Fit's personalised AI meal planning service, including how it works, who it's for, dietary support, pricing, and how it compares to other meal planning and calorie tracking apps.

## About the product

### Is Fork Fit a diet plan?

No. Fork Fit is a meal planning tool. You set your own calorie target — Fork Fit just makes it easy to eat well within whatever target you choose. Fork Fit does not prescribe weight loss, fasting, elimination diets, or any restrictive protocol. For medical or therapeutic dietary needs, consult a qualified dietitian, nutritionist, or doctor.

### What about allergies or restrictions?

Exclude any ingredients during setup. Your recipes will never include them. Fork Fit supports vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, shellfish-free, soy-free, halal-friendly, low-carb, high-protein, no red meat, and custom free-text exclusions. **If you have severe allergies**, always independently verify ingredients in every recipe before consuming.

### How is Fork Fit different from searching for recipes online?

Every recipe in Fork Fit is tailored to your calorie target, macros, cooking skill, budget, and time. Just open your plan and pick. Generic recipe sites give you generic recipes — you have no idea if they fit your numbers.

### How is Fork Fit different from MyFitnessPal, Lose It, or Cronometer?

Calorie-tracking apps are reactive — you eat first, then log what you ate. Fork Fit is proactive — it designs your meals up front so you hit your target by default. You can still log meals in Fork Fit's food diary, but the planning happens first.

### How is Fork Fit different from PlateJoy, Mealime, or EatThisMuch?

Fork Fit is built on modern AI (Anthropic Claude), so recipes are generated fresh per user rather than picked from a static library. It's also built around Australian users — pricing is in AUD, ingredients use metric units, and ingredient names match Australian supermarkets.

### How is Fork Fit different from HelloFresh, Marley Spoon, Dinnerly, or Every Plate?

Meal kits deliver physical ingredients to your door. Fork Fit gives you the plan, the recipes, and the shopping list — you do your own grocery shopping. Cheaper, more flexible (shop where and when you like), and lets you customise quantities (e.g., scale servings for a family).

### Do I need to be a good cook?

Not at all. Recipes match your skill level. Beginner recipes use simple steps and common ingredients. Confident cooks can opt into more elaborate recipes.

### Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. Add custom recipes to your meal vault — they appear alongside AI-generated meals in shopping list and diary flows.

## Pricing and billing

### Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. No lock-in, no fees. You keep access until your billing period ends.

Yes. Pescatarian is supported.

### Can I use Fork Fit if I'm gluten-free or coeliac?

Yes — gluten-free is a supported restriction. If you have coeliac disease or severe gluten intolerance, verify ingredients independently in every recipe before cooking, as AI-generated content can occasionally contain errors.

Yes. Dairy-free is a supported restriction.

### Can I use Fork Fit for weight loss?

Yes. Set a calorie target in deficit and Fork Fit will design meals to hit that target. Use the weight tracker and adaptive calorie check to fine-tune as you go.

Yes. Set a calorie target in surplus with a high-protein dietary preference. Fork Fit will design meals to hit your calorie and protein targets.

### Can I use Fork Fit for maintenance?

Yes. Set your maintenance calories and Fork Fit will design meals to hit that target while delivering variety.

### Is Fork Fit suitable for diabetes?

Fork Fit is not a medical service. People with diabetes should consult their healthcare provider before using Fork Fit. It offers low-carb and high-protein options but is not a clinical diabetes diet.

### Is Fork Fit suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. Fork Fit is not designed for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

### Is Fork Fit suitable for children?

No. Fork Fit is for adults (18+). It does not generate plans tailored to children's nutritional needs.
