Fuelin - Performance Nutrition 4+

Fuelin was a great app that helped me navigate my nutrition plan along with my workouts to have a successful first half Ironman! I didn’t have the budget for the one-on-one consultations but even on the low end of cost it was totally worth it: I listened to all the educational videos and as many of the live events as I could.
As an older athlete (41) doing her first long distance tri, I knew the importance of getting my nutrition on point to help prevent injury, sickness and help me perform at my best. Fuelin allowed me to do that on a tight budget, and I’ll be forever grateful. I was able to plan each day effectively and my body performed well and recovered well.
If I decide to do another long distance, I will definitely use Fuelin again and hopefully be able to go for the one-on-one consultation to get even more out of the program.

The app looked promising, but at the end of the day it’s another case of overpromising and under-delivering. I was initially sketched out by the lack of free trial—why wouldn’t you want users to understand the app before committing? But I went on the website and found a section where they explained their 90 day money back policy and bought the 1 year. I began using the app consistently for a few weeks, but found it buggy and impossible to log your actual nutrition macros. AI takes a stab at counting macros based on your description, but you can’t edit what it guesses, even when you’re staring at the nutritional facts. The barcode scanning rarely works. When I reached out to take advantage of the money back policy, I was ghosted for several weeks. Finally someone reached out to explain they have no such policy and told me I should instead be “all in”. I showed them where Google SEO had cached the part of the website explaining the refund policy (they took it off their site apparently) but I have been ghosted yet again. This app does not do anything that MyFitPal and similar does much better and with real customer support.

Fuelin’s daily recommendations work! I have been logging my food daily and using Fuelin for over a year now. Fuelin provides daily recommendations on food consumption in sync with all of my workouts along with the proper Fuelin strategy for in workout consumption. Before using Fuelin I was did not consume much if anything during workouts and this app taught me the optimal amounts to consume before, during, and after workouts. Also following along with daily tracking I was able to maintain my energy and weight during all of the tough training cycles. I finished the Clash Daytona 1/2 Triathlon in the top 1/2 of my Age Group, powering through the very challenging run in the heat at the end. Thanks to the entire Fuelin team for their support and helping me achieve this milestone!
