Gympal: Here’s What to Expect
Today, I am happy to share what I have been working on for the past year, and invite you to join me on this journey.
Why I Built Gympal
All the big calorie-tracking apps felt like note-taking apps. They were just places to write down what you ate, like a digital diary, but I was more interested in the process of figuring out what to eat next.
It feels more natural to find out what to eat on my own, or through a personal trainer, since they can tailor recommendations to me specifically, taking into account things like my gym equipment, foods I disliked, and previous injuries, but why couldn't I tell an app these things instead? There just weren’t any apps offering that level of customization.
I quickly realized how frustrating it was to rely on fitness apps that treated everyone the same. Imagine opening TikTok without a personalized For You page—it would't satisfy me.
Another pain point was seasonal goals. Transitioning from bulking to cutting meant manually adjusting every entry to lower calories while maintaining macros. It was tedious and time-consuming.
And then came the leftover calorie problem. If I had 700 kcal left on a Saturday, I was unsure of what to eat. If I was only used to making the same meals over and over, it felt like game-over for me. Why couldn’t an app just suggest something tailored to my needs?
That’s why I built Gympal—a simple, flexible app that helps you manage your diet, experiment, and discover what works for you.
