Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about MyDietingApp.
Getting Started

Yes! The core features including fasting timer, food logging, weight tracking, and hydration tracking are completely free. We offer optional Plus ($4.99/mo) and Pro ($9.99/mo) plans with additional features like AI coaching and advanced analytics.
How do I install the app on my phone?
MyDietingApp is a Progressive Web App (PWA). On your phone's browser, tap the share button and select 'Add to Home Screen'. The app will then work like a native app, even offline!
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to use the app. Your data is stored locally on your device. However, if you want to sync your data across devices or protect it from being lost, you can sign in with your Replit account.
Fasting
What fasting schedules are supported?
We support popular intermittent fasting schedules including 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, and OMAD (One Meal A Day). You can also set a custom fasting window that works for you.
What are the 'body stages' during fasting?
As you fast, your body goes through different metabolic stages: Fed State (0-4 hours), Early Fasting (4-8 hours), Fat Burning (8-12 hours), Ketosis (12-18 hours), Deep Ketosis (18-24 hours), and Autophagy (24+ hours). We show you what's happening in your body at each stage.
Food Tracking
How do I log food?
You can log food in three ways: 1) Use our AI-powered natural language entry (just type 'chicken salad with ranch' and we'll figure out the details), 2) Search our database of thousands of foods, or 3) Enter nutrition info manually.
Does the app track macros?
Yes! We track calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and sodium. In Keto mode, we also calculate net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) to help you stay in ketosis.
Diet Modes
What diet modes are available?
We support four diet modes: Intermittent Fasting (timer-based), Calorie Deficit (CICO approach), Keto/Low-Carb (net carb tracking), and Carnivore (protein-focused, zero carb). The app adapts its interface and recommendations based on your chosen mode.
Can I switch between diet modes?
Yes! You can change your diet mode anytime in your Profile settings. Your logged data is preserved - we just change how the app displays information and what recommendations you receive.
Privacy & Data
Is my data private?
Absolutely. Your data is stored locally on your device by default. If you sign in, your data syncs to our secure servers but is only accessible to you. We never sell or share your personal health data.
What happens if I clear my browser cache?
If you're not signed in, clearing your cache will delete your local data. We strongly recommend signing in to protect your data. Once signed in, you can clear your cache and simply log back in to restore everything.
Subscription
What's included in Plus vs Pro?
Plus ($4.99/mo) adds personalized coaching, body measurements, progress photos, and recipe suggestions. Pro ($9.99/mo) includes everything in Plus, plus AI Coach, advanced analytics, health labs tracking, and priority support.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel anytime. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your billing period. After that, you'll automatically switch to the free plan but keep all your logged data.
