The meals

One cook. 10 minutes.
Ready for the week.

Every meal on the list is built for batch cooking: about 10 minutes of hands-on work, then the slow cooker or oven does the rest. One cook covers curries, bowls and pasta bakes across the week, and every day adds up to your macros.

What to eat, every day

Swap anything.
Your macros hold.

Every day shows what to eat and when. Not feeling today's lunch? Swap it for something else. Your macros still hold.

  • Only meals that keep the day on target are offered
  • No meal ready? Blend a backup smoothie in about 4 minutes
  • Your shopping list updates with any meal swaps

Got food to use up?

Start with
what's in the fridge.

Tick the chicken, rice or eggs you already have. Meals that use them come first. Anything you won't eat, or can't, stays out of the way.

  • Use up what you already have first
  • Leave out ingredients you don't like or can't eat
  • Pick the meals you like and your plan is built around them

Meal prep

Prep day,
step by step.

Open prep day and the app walks you through it: what to cook first, what goes in the fridge and what goes in the freezer.

  • Cook mode with every step and its timer
  • Every tub marked fridge or freezer
  • A reminder the night before to thaw tomorrow's food

The training

Every set
counts.

I'm not a PT, so I don't write the training. The app builds it from published research: how many sets each muscle needs, how hard to push, how long to rest, when to back off.

Already programmed

The right sets,
every muscle.

Everything you need for every session, set by the research on muscle growth.

  • Effective sets per muscle, per week
  • Rest times for each exercise
  • Reps that change each week for progressive overload
  • A reps-in-reserve target on every set for muscle growth
  • Machine taken? Swap to one that hits the same muscle
  • Form cues for your exercises, and more
Bench press3 × 6–8 · rest 2 min
Supported row3 × 8–10 · rest 90 s
Back squat3 × 6–8 · rest 3 min
Romanian deadlift3 × 8–10 · rest 2 min

The Lab

I built it
to run itself.

I'm Ryan. I work full time. I want to train and eat well, but I don't want it to take over my life. I rock climb, I game, I watch sports, and I didn't want to give all that up to be fit. Turns out I don't have to. I scan every month, and the scans show it working.

FAQ

Common questions.

I already train. My food is the mess.
Start with the meals. Pick the ones you like and the app plans the week around your macros, writes the shopping list and plans one prep session. Each day shows what to eat and when.
I don't have time to cook.
Most of the week's food comes off one prep session. Each of the 37 batch meals is one cook for 8 tubs, 31 of them with 10 minutes or less of hands-on work, and the app picks what goes in the fridge and what goes in the freezer.
Won't I get sick of eating the same thing?
One cook covers different meals across the week, not one dish seven times. Swap any meal for another you like and the app re-balances the day so it still lands on your macros.
Is it only for building muscle?
No. It's for men and women who want to lose weight, build muscle or both. You set the goal weight and body fat, and your route plans the phases in between.
Do I need ChatGPT or another AI?
No. There's no AI in the app. Your route, your program and your meals are built from published rules, on your phone, in about a minute.
How much does Coast cost?
Coast is free: meal plans, training programs, shopping lists and meal prep, with no ads and no account.
