What is Gainsville?

Gainsville is a free food and workout diary that runs in your phone or computer browser. Log what you eat, your lifts and runs, and your weight, then plan the week's meals and workouts in the same place.

Is Gainsville free?

Yes. Making an account and using the diary, plans, calculator and guides costs nothing. Create an account with just your email; no password needed. Your food, weight and workouts never go to advertisers.

How do I log food?

Tap Log My Eats, search the food list and pick how much. Packaged food: tap Scan a barcode. Or tap Say it and talk, like "two eggs and toast for breakfast", check the card and tap Log it.

Does it have workout plans?

Yes. Plan My Lifts has ready-made lifting plans from beginner to advanced, including plans that need no weights at all. Log My Lifts records sets, reps and weight, and shows last time's numbers.

How many calories should I eat?

The TDEE calculator works out your daily calories from your sex, age, height, weight and activity (the Mifflin-St Jeor formula), with a moderate cut, maintenance and lean bulk, plus a protein range. See What's TDEE?.

Can my family use it?

Yes. The household owner invites family, and each person keeps their own diary. Coming from MyFitnessPal? Import your exported history.
