How can we help?

Caf Coach turns your campus dining hall's real daily menu into a meal plan built around your calorie and macro goals, then helps you log and track what you actually eat. It's built for students on a meal plan.

1. Sign in and set your calorie and macro goals.
2. Open today's menu and tap Generate Meal Plan.
3. Swap or adjust anything you don't like.
4. Log as you eat and watch your totals fill in.

Caf Coach is available at hundreds of schools and growing. Pick yours when you sign up. If your school isn't listed yet, email us at hello@cafcoach.org so we know where to go next.

Use the macro calculator in the app to get a starting point, or type in your own numbers. You can change them any time, and new plans use your latest goals.

Caf Coach looks at what your dining hall is serving that day and picks a combination of real items, with servings, aimed at your goals. Each meal aims to land within about 5% of its calorie target.

The plan can only use what's on today's menu, in whole servings, minus any foods you've excluded. When no combination gets close enough, the Plan Summary tells you which meal is off and why, for example when one meal went over and left less room for another. Removing items from your Foods to Avoid list (Preferences) gives the planner more to work with.

Starring a macro tells the planner that one matters most to you, so it gets extra weight when the plan is built. Only one macro can be starred at a time.

Tap the X next to an item. The meal is rebuilt without it, and the food is added to your Foods to Avoid list in Preferences, where you can undo it later.

Reshuffle rebuilds a single meal with different foods. A meal is locked and won't reshuffle once it's already within about 100 calories of its goal, its macros are covered, or you've checked off any food in it.

Autopilot builds your plan automatically each morning, so it's ready when you open the app. You can turn it on in the app's settings.

A grade out of 100 for your day: up to 40 points for macro accuracy, 35 for variety (different foods and stations), and 25 for balance (every meal built and no single item dominating). Tap the grade to see the breakdown.

Three ways: check off an item in your plan, tap Add Food to search for anything, or use Scan for restaurant menus and other spots. Logged food moves to the bottom of its meal and counts toward your totals.

If you add something that wasn't in the plan, Caf Coach rebuilds the rest of that meal so the whole meal stays on target. It skips this when the meal is already within about 100 calories of its goal, or when what you've eaten has already passed your starred macro.

Not on a logged item. Remove it with the X and log it again with the right amount.

Scan lets you photograph a restaurant menu or look up an off-campus spot to get suggestions that fit your goals and log what you pick. Results are estimates, so double-check anything important.

Dining hall nutrition data comes from the menus themselves and can be imprecise, and scanned items are estimates. Treat the numbers as a good guide, not a lab result. Items with unreliable data are flagged in your plan.

You can set allergens and dietary criteria in Preferences, and the planner filters around them, but always confirm allergens with your dining hall. Caf Coach is an educational tool and does not provide medical or dietary advice.

Caf Coach used to be called MacroPeak. Your account is the same: go to cafcoach.org and sign in again with the same login.

Dining halls sometimes post menus late or change them. Refresh in a few minutes. If items are still missing or wrong, use the in-app Report option so we can fix it.

Refresh the app and try again. If it keeps happening, email hello@cafcoach.org with what you were doing and a screenshot.
