What does 'meal planner' in the program mean?
This is the view where you are able to plan your meals for the coming days.
What does 'shopping list' in the app mean?
Android: The shopping list is a help for you in the grocery store, it mirrors the meals and ingredients you have in the meal planner. If you add more days you will see more items in this list and vice versa. A red dot on the shopping list icon indicates that you have new items in it.
iOS: The shopping list is a help for you in the grocery store, it mirrors the ingredients you have added from the recipes chosen. If you add more recipes you will see more items in this list and vice versa.
In the shopping list I see e.g. multiple bananas and other ingredients, is it okay to buy just the same kind?
Yes, absolutely. Currently we can only handle the shopping list by adding the ingredients independently from their shape/preparation form. If you, for instance, see cucumber in pieces, grated and peeled just buy a cucumber and then prepare it according to the instructions in the recipe later on.
In the recipes I see some ingredients that are hard to find where I live, can I change into something similar?
Yes, absolutely. Please check out this list for possible alternatives:
Semi skimmed milk | Unsweetened almond/oat/quinoa/coconut milk |
Blueberries/strawberries/raspberries raw | Blueberries/strawberries/raspberries frozen |
Fruit (e.g banana, apple) | Fruit (e.g pear, plum, exotic fruit) |
Couscous/Quinoa | Bulgur/buckwheat/barley |
Potato, sweet potato | Beet roots, carrots |
Creme fraiche light/light cooking cream | Turkish yogurt/greek yogurt |
Chicken/salmon/red meat | Tofu/quorn/oumph |
Low fat yogurt Fish | Unsweetened soygurt Either shellfish OR chicken, tofu, poultry, quo |
Soba noodles | Shirataki, glass or rice noodles |
I can't see my vegetable / meat trackers any longer, why is that?
The trackers are not activated during a Meal Plan, it will return back to original settings once the Meal Plan is finished.
When I completed the Eat like Denice Meal Plan I end up in the Plans tab, and everything is back to my regular settings, why is that?
As soon as you have finished this Meal Plan you will see a pop-up asking you to choose a new plan from the Plans tab in the app.
Is it safe to follow 'Eat like Denice' more than 7 days and restart the Meal Plan after it has ended?
Yes, it is. You can follow our Meal Plans for more than 7 days. However, one should always strive to eat varied, especially when the goal is to lose weight and the energy intake displayed in the chosen plan is lower than usual. If you continue longer than 7 days you can add side dishes, e.g., salad (tomato, cucumber, lettuce, bell pepper) to make sure you get all the vitamins and minerals you need. You can add those side dishes by tracking them directly in the Diary.

iOS: Yes, you will find the option to restart either in the plan settings (top right in settings view) or by going to the PROGRAMS tab at the bottom tab bar and clicking on the active plan. You will then see the button "Restart Plan".
Android: Yes, you will find the option to restart either in the plan settings (top right in settings view) or by going to the PROGRAMS tab at the bottom tab bar and clicking on the active plan.

Why is there no "cheat meal" available for this plan?
There are no cheat meals in this Meal Plan as it is intended to work as inspiration. If you feel like you want to eat something that is not included in the Meal Plan, please feel free to track it as usual in the Diary.
I happened to press ‘Eat this every day’ but now I regret it, how can I undo that?
You have to manually tap into each day, and meal, where you want to eat something else, in order to change it.
When I swap between meals in the meal planner the macronutrient intake for the day appears to be higher than what I’ve been recommended, why?
The meal plans are formed by general recommendations, so they are not customized to your specific goals. What you can do is to see the goals for each of the macronutrients more as guidelines. It’s difficult to nail each macronutrient goal every day and not something you shall strive for. Aim instead to get close to the goals for both calories and macronutrients. You will reach balanced eating this way.
Tips on how to increase the energy amount in the prepared meals:
Eggs, fruit, berries, rice, rye bread/crisp bread, pasta, nuts, avocado, rise crackers, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken, smoked salmon.
