A meal plan to follow, or targets you can see
FoodCoach plans your meals for you. Each meal gets a carb target from your training, protein and fat are kept within a range, and its recipes are portioned in grams to fit the meal.
M0VE gives you the day as numbers: calories, carbs, protein and fat, rebuilt every morning around your planned training and split across your meals. Eat what you like and log it, or pick from the recipe library.
Logging by photo, barcode and label
FoodCoach logs food from a search of more than 3 million products, your own foods and its recipes. Photo, barcode and label scanning are not listed on its website or App Store page, and FoodCoach AI is a chat assistant for nutrition questions. In M0VE you can snap the plate, scan a barcode, photograph a nutrition label, describe the meal in plain words, or search.
Session fuel, with your gels already in the app
Both apps cover fuelling during a session. FoodCoach gives on-bike carb guidelines and lets you set a carbs per hour race target. M0VE sets carbs per hour for every session from its duration, power and sport, adds fluid and sodium per hour, and has gels, chews, bars and drinks built in so you can tap them into your session fuel. A catalogue like that is not listed for FoodCoach.
