Using the AI Meal Analysis as a client is incredibly simple—and once you do it a few times, it becomes second nature.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to use it properly:
🔄 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open Trainerize Messages
Go to your Trainerize mobile app, and tap into the chat with your coach.
2. Add a Meal Photo
Tap the ➕ button and choose:
📷 Take a new photo, or
🖼️ Upload from your gallery
3. Add the Command: /mealhelp
Before posting the photo, make sure you type:
/mealhelp
This is how the AI knows to analyze the photo.
4. (Optional) Add a Description
Want more accuracy? Include details like:
“200g chicken, 150g rice, 1 tbsp olive oil”
But if you’re unsure, no problem—AI will still estimate it well.
5. Post the Message
Click Post to send the meal with the /mealhelp command.
6. Wait 15 Seconds
The AI will reply automatically with a nutrition analysis, including estimated:
Calories
Protein, carbs, and fats
Quick summary of the meal
7. Refresh the Dashboard
Go back to your Trainerize Dashboard and swipe down to refresh.
8. Your Meal Is Logged ✅
You’ll now see the meal added to your food diary, usually as:
🍳 Breakfast
🍽️ Lunch
🍲 Dinner
🥨 Snack
(Assigned based on your local time zone when you posted the photo.)
FAQ: AI Meal Analysis Not Working
1. The AI Meal Analysis isn’t triggering. What should I check?
The most common reasons are:
You are testing as a coach instead of a client.
The AI Meal Analysis only works when you are logged in as a Trainerize client, not a coach.The photo was uploaded in the Meal Diary instead of Messages.
The AI only analyzes meals sent inside the chat messages with your coach.
2. How do I correctly submit a meal for AI analysis?
To use the AI Meal Analysis:
Log in as a Trainerize client.
Open your Messages with your coach.
Choose a photo from you phone library and before posting it type the command: /mealhelp
Upload the meal photo in the same message thread.
Wait a few seconds — the AI will generate the full food analysis and automatically add it to your Meal Diary.
3. The meal is added but appears at the wrong time or on the wrong day. Why?
This is caused by the client's time zone settings in Trainerize.
To fix it:
Open the Trainerize app as a client.
Go to Settings.
Tap My Profile.
Scroll down and check your Time Zone.
Make sure it is correct for your location.
