I can't see my vegetable or seafood trackers any longer. Why is that?
The trackers are not activated during a Meal Plan, the app will return back to its original settings once the Meal Plan is finished.

When I completed the Hormonal Meal Plan, I ended up in the PROGRAMS tab, and everything is back to my regular settings. Why is that?
As soon as you have tracked your last meal in this Meal Plan, you will see a pop-up asking you to choose a new plan from the Plans tab in the app. This is because the meal plan is over, and we will no longer provide any shopping list or meal planner.

Is it safe to follow 'Hormonal Balance' for more than 21 days and restart the Meal Plan after it has ended?
Yes, it is safe. You can follow our Meal Plans for more than 21 days. However, one should always strive to have a balanced and varied program, especially when the goal is to lose weight and the energy intake displayed in the chosen plan is lower than usual. Therefore, if you continue longer than 21 days, it can be beneficial to add or change some meals to make sure you vary your intake to get all the vitamins and minerals you need. If you wish to add additional food/meals, just track them directly in the Diary.

 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. However, if you want to eat something 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? 
To undo that, you have to manually tap into each day and meal where you want to eat something else

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.
