Getting started

What is FÜDAVA?
Meal plans built around your health, your budget and the foods you love. You get a week of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks with recipes and a grocery list, plus tools to log meals, track your health and move a little more each day.
How is my plan built?
From your answers: your goal, height and weight, activity level, health conditions, diet type, allergies, budget and the cuisines you love. AI writes the recipes, then the nutrition is checked ingredient by ingredient against USDA food data rather than taken from the AI's estimate.
Who shouldn't use an automated plan?
FÜDAVA doesn't build plans for anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, living with type 1 diabetes, with a history of an eating disorder, or underweight. In those situations a doctor or registered dietitian should plan with you.
Is this medical advice?
No. FÜDAVA doesn't diagnose or treat any condition and doesn't replace your doctor. Talk with your care team before changing your diet or medication, especially if you take insulin or another medicine that lowers blood sugar.

Your meal plan

Where do the nutrition numbers come from?
From USDA food data, looked up for each ingredient and added up for the meal. When an ingredient can't be matched yet, that meal shows the recipe's estimated numbers until it can be.
I have diabetes, prediabetes or PCOS. How is my plan different?
Your plan keeps carbohydrates within a limit at every meal and snack and steady through the day, and builds meals around protein, fiber and non-starchy vegetables. Keep checking your blood sugar as your care team advises.
Can I change a meal I don't like?
Yes. Swap a single meal with the swap button on your plan (you can add a note like "something with chicken"), replace it with one of your saved recipes, or describe a change in your own words. To start over, go to Settings → Review and update my answers.
Will I see food from my culture?
Yes. Pick the cuisines you love, such as Mexican, Southern, Caribbean, West African or Indian, and how often you want them, when you set up your plan or under Settings → Review and update my answers. Plans use the real dishes, adjusted to fit your health limits and budget.
Can I cook once and eat twice?
Yes. Turn on "Cook once, eat twice" in Settings and rebuild your plan. Each dinner becomes a double batch, and the next day's lunch is the leftovers.
Does it use cups and pounds?
Yes. Recipes use cups, spoons and ounces, and your weight and height are in pounds, feet and inches.

Groceries and budget

How does the grocery budget work?
Set a weekly amount in Settings → Weekly Grocery Budget. New plans and grocery lists are built to stay under it, each meal shows an estimated cost, and your plan tells you if it runs over.
What's on the grocery list?
Everything your plan's recipes need, grouped by store section. Items most kitchens already have, like oil and spices, are marked so you can check before buying.

Exercise

What are Micro Moves?
One- to three-minute exercise breaks through your day, like squats, wall push-ups and calf raises. Pick your hours, how often, a daily goal and a level. Tap any move to change its version or your number. Included with Smart Plan.
Is there a full workout plan?
Yes. Get a plan for the days you can train, your level and the equipment you have, then log your sets and reps. Find it under More (computer) or your profile menu (phone).

Tracking your health

What can I track?
Meals (including barcode scanning), weight, water, blood sugar, medications with dose reminders, lab results and, if you choose, your cycle and PCOS symptoms. You can print a doctor report that brings it together.
Is there an app?
FÜDAVA works in any phone or computer browser. An Android app is coming to Google Play. It adds reminders on your phone and, if you allow it, reads steps, weight, sleep and blood sugar from Health Connect.

Plans and billing

What do the plans cost?
Free is $0. Smart Plan is $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. Premium, coming soon, is $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year and adds household plans for up to four people.
How do I cancel?
Any time in Settings → Subscription & Billing. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Fees for a period already started aren't refunded; see the Terms.

Privacy

Is my health information private?
We never sell your data. Payments go through Stripe, the app runs on Amazon Web Services, and the details a plan is built from are sent to OpenAI to write your recipes. The Privacy Policy has the full details.
How do I delete my account?
Email hello@fudava.com from the address you signed up with and we'll delete your account and data.
