Getting started
Press Get started, it's free on the home page and answer a few questions: your goal, sex, birth date, height, weight, how active you are and what you like to eat. From those, SustainBite works out your daily targets for energy and about 50 nutrients, and opens My Plan.
Planning your meals
My Plan shows a day: its meals and snacks, and every nutrient against your targets.
- Your weekly menu: SustainBite suggests a week of meals for the Diet (vegetarian or not) and Meal style you choose at the top of My Plan. Press Use this plan to keep it, or Get my grocery list to put it on your list.
- Add food: search for a food or a recipe, choose how much, and it's added to the meal.
- Move between days with the dates at the top.
Changing your plan
- To change the kind of meals, choose another Diet or Meal style on My Plan: the weekly menu changes with them. Press Use this plan to keep it.
- Once you've kept a plan, Regenerate plan makes a new week in the same style.
- To change your goal, weight or activity, go to Settings → Profile. Your targets follow.
- To set a target yourself, go to Settings → Nutrient targets.
Everything is free during early access, so there's no subscription plan to change.
Your family
Open Family in the menu (on a phone, the menu button at the top).
- Invite someone with an account: enter their email address. Once they accept, you can see and plan their meals.
- Add a profile for someone without an account, like a child: enter their details, and they get targets of their own.
- In Cart, choose Me and my family to make one grocery list for everyone.
Anyone can leave a family, and you can remove a member, at any time.
Working with a nutritionist
- Find one: Find a nutritionist lists the nutritionists our team has checked.
- Share your plan: in Sharing, ask a nutritionist to look after your food diary. Once they accept, they can see your food and plan your meals. You can take access back at any time.
Becoming a nutritionist on SustainBite
Read SustainBite for nutritionists, then fill in the application. Our team checks every application; once you're approved, you're listed in Find a nutritionist and clients can share their plans with you.
Your grocery list
Open Cart:
- Add from your plan: choose the days, and the food on them goes on the list.
- Check the list: change amounts, or remove what you already have.
- Get your groceries: email the list to yourself, share or copy it, send it to the Bring! app, or order it on Instacart where that's available.
Share sends the list as text, with a link to it laid out like the email: whoever opens the link can tick things off as they shop. The link works for 90 days.
Recipes
Browse more than 3,000 recipes in Recipes, each with its nutrients. You can also write your own: it stays private unless you make it public, and our team checks a public recipe before others see it.
Reports
Reports shows 7, 14 or 28 days: your average energy and nutrients against your targets, a day-by-day chart and how nutrients balance each other. Download PDF saves it as a file under the SustainBite letterhead; a report your nutritionist downloads carries their practice's. Printing the page gives the same report.
Watches and phones
Press Connect a watch on My Plan's steps card. On an iPhone, a Shortcut sends your steps and active energy from Apple Health, and they show on My Plan.
