AI nutrition for personal trainers, built for Australia.
BuildStability AI nutrition sets daily macro and energy targets per client and lets them log food against those targets in five ways. The database is built for the Australian shelf: AUSNUT R3, 4,300+ Coles and Woolworths branded products, plus curated Macca’s, Guzman y Gomez, KFC, and Subway. Targets adjust to training day vs rest day. No rigid meal plans. Included on every paid plan. Currently in Beta.
The database your clients actually shop from.
Most coaching apps run on MyFitnessPal-style US-skewed data. Barcodes for Australian-only products miss, and clients give up logging by week two. BuildStability is built from four Australian sources.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand reference dataset. 5,740 generic foods with full macro and micronutrient detail.
Branded products from the two supermarkets your clients actually shop at. Barcode hits land on the right SKU, not a generic guess.
Curated Australian QSR list. Your client logs a chicken Mission burrito and the macros match the menu, not a US clone.
Open Food Facts entries scoped to Australian-sold products, used as the fallback when a barcode is not in the curated branded list.
Combined coverage: 51,000+ Australian food entries across generic foods, supermarket SKUs, and QSR menus. Logging hit rate has been the single biggest predictor of nutrition adherence in early Beta cohorts.
Five logging methods. All on every paid plan.
Trainers do not pick which logging method their clients use. Clients do, in the moment, based on what is fastest right now.
Phone camera scans the barcode. Macros log in one tap. Works on Coles, Woolworths, IGA, and most branded grocery products.
Snap the nutrition panel. Repley reads it and logs the macros. Useful when the barcode is missing or scanning fails.
Photo of the plate. Repley estimates the meal and macros from the image. Edit if needed before saving.
“Half a cup oats, 200g blueberries, scoop of whey.” Repley parses it, finds each food in the database, logs the macros.
Same parsing, hands-free. Useful while driving home from the gym or cooking.
Macros that adjust to training load.
The dominant complaint about coaching-app nutrition is the rigid meal plan. Clients hate them. Research on adherence agrees: prescribed menus get abandoned inside three weeks. BuildStability sets targets, not menus.
- 01Targets are generated from the client’s training plan and a baseline assessment. Training day macros are higher than rest day macros by default.
- 02Trainer can override any target, lock a macro (e.g. protein at 180g), or set a deload week and the calories adjust automatically.
- 03Client logs what they actually ate. Adherence shows in the trainer dashboard alongside RPE, attendance, and Engagement Score. One screen, one client picture.
- 04No recipes to write. No breakfast / lunch / dinner slots to fill. The trainer sets the number, the client picks the food.
What BuildStability nutrition is not.
Honesty earns trust. Here is what we do not do, so you can rule it out fast if it matters to you.
- 01Not a recipe generator. We do not write breakfast / lunch / dinner menus. If you want prescribed meals, PT Distinction’s AI Meal Planner is a better fit.
- 02Not a MyFitnessPal sync layer. The food database is first-party Australian data, not a pass-through. If your clients are already deep in MyFitnessPal and you want their history preserved, Trainerize’s MyFitnessPal integration is the closer fit.
- 03Not a clinical dietetics tool. Macro and energy targets only. We do not prescribe for medical conditions or interact with eating-disorder protocols. Refer those clients to an Accredited Practising Dietitian.
If it does not work for your clients, leave.
No notice period. No support ticket. No phone call. The single strongest wedge in the PT software category, applied here too.
Cancel in 1 click. Directly from the Business page. No support ticket. No phone call.
Keep access until the end of your billing period. No immediate lockouts. Export your data on your schedule.

Questions trainers ask before turning AI nutrition on.
What is BuildStability AI nutrition?
BuildStability AI nutrition is a coaching tool that sets daily macro and energy targets for each client, then lets them log what they actually eat against those targets. Targets are generated from training history (training day vs rest day) rather than a fixed menu. The food database is built for the Australian shelf: AUSNUT R3 from Food Standards Australia New Zealand, 4,300+ branded products from Coles and Woolworths, and a curated list covering Macca’s, Guzman y Gomez, KFC, and Subway. Five logging methods are included on every paid plan: barcode, label photo, meal photo, conversational chat with Repley, and voice. Currently in Beta.
How is BuildStability nutrition different from MyFitnessPal or Cronometer?
MyFitnessPal and Cronometer are consumer trackers. BuildStability is a coach-led tool: the trainer sets the targets, sees adherence in real time, and adjusts the plan when training load changes. The food data is also different. MyFitnessPal’s database is US-skewed and crowd-sourced, so Australian barcodes often miss or return a US equivalent. BuildStability uses AUSNUT plus 4,300+ Coles and Woolworths SKUs plus curated Australian QSR, so a Coles Tasmanian beef mince barcode matches a Coles Tasmanian beef mince entry.
How is it different from Trainerize or PT Distinction nutrition?
Trainerize bundles MyFitnessPal as the food log, so Australian trainers inherit MyFitnessPal’s US-skewed database and the consumer UX that comes with it. PT Distinction ships an AI Meal Planner that generates prescribed recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. BuildStability does neither. The food database is first-party and Australian-built, not a sync layer. Targets are macros and energy, not prescribed meals: research on adherence is consistent that rigid meal plans fail. The client logs what they actually ate, against a target the trainer set.
Do trainers have to build meal plans manually?
No. BuildStability generates daily macro and energy targets from the client’s training plan and a baseline assessment. Training day targets are higher than rest day targets by default. The trainer can override any target, lock a macro, or set a deload week and the targets adjust automatically. There are no recipes to author and no breakfast / lunch / dinner slots to fill. The client decides what to eat, the software keeps score.
Which plan includes AI nutrition?
AI nutrition is included on every paid plan: Essential (A$6/mo for up to 6 clients), Starter (A$30/mo for up to 25 clients), Pro (A$90/mo for up to 100 clients), and Pro+ (for 250+ clients). All five logging methods, the AUSNUT and Coles and Woolworths food databases, and Repley’s nutrition tools are included. There is no separate nutrition add-on and no per-client charge for nutrition coaching. Pricing is on the public pricing page.
Does the nutrition database work for clients who eat at restaurants?
For Australian quick-service restaurants, yes. The curated list covers Macca’s, Guzman y Gomez, KFC, and Subway with menu-accurate macros, not US clones. For sit-down restaurants and cafes, clients log the meal as a photo or describe it conversationally to Repley, which estimates the macros from the description. Edits are one tap. The estimate is better than skipping the log entirely, which is what most clients do when the database does not have a match.
What is the Beta label about?
AI nutrition is shipping in phases. The food database, target generation, and all five logging methods are live and stable. Some advanced features (auto-rebalancing macros across the week, restaurant search by location, hydration tracking) are still being rolled out. The Beta label stays until every planned feature is shipped and we have run the analytics for adherence and accuracy. Trainers using AI nutrition in Beta keep all features they switch on, including after Beta ends.
Can I cancel if nutrition is not the right fit?
Yes, in one click. BuildStability cancellation is inside your Business page: no support tickets, no notice period, no phone calls. You keep access until the end of your current billing period, and you can undo the cancellation in one click before it takes effect.
