Four short steps, about fifteen minutes total, that give you a baseline number, a place to log, and a way for Cody to actually see it on the call.
Find your baseline with NASM's calculator
NASM's free calorie calculator gives you a starting daily number based on your age, weight, activity level, and goal. It's not a diet, just a number worth having before you start logging anything.
Open the CalculatorCreate a free MyFitnessPal account
MyFitnessPal is where you'll log meals day to day. The free account is all you need to get started, no premium subscription required.
Create Your AccountTurn on your phone's Health app
If you're on iPhone, open the Health app that's already installed and make sure it's tracking steps and activity. On Android, your phone's own health app works the same way. Nothing new to download, just make sure it's switched on.
Start your free trial with Trainerize
This is what lets Cody see your logs and coach you live on the Thursday call. Start your free trial, then connect MyFitnessPal and your phone's health data inside the app so everything shows up in one place.

Connect your phone's Health app
On iPhone, open Health (already installed) and confirm it's tracking steps and activity. On Android, your phone's built-in health app works the same way. Once it's switched on, Trainerize pulls that data in alongside your MyFitnessPal logs, so Cody sees the full picture without you tracking anything twice.
