Questions everyone asks — answered once.

Two things under one roof. A nutrition content platform where every claim is grounded in peer-reviewed research — 49 studies reviewed, 53 claims verified, 6 in-depth guides, and growing. And a meal plan app — personalized weekly plans, 1,000+ recipes, smart shopping lists, and macros tailored to your goals. The content is free to read and listen to. The meal plans are a paid subscription.

Yes. Every study analysis, claim verdict, short, recipe, and library guide on FitChef is free to read and listen to. No paywall, no "subscribe to see the answer." The meal plan platform — FitChef Pro — is a separate paid product with personalized weekly plans, shopping lists, and a full app. The research and the meal plans are built by the same team, but reading the science costs nothing.

Peer-reviewed research papers — the full studies, not summaries or abstracts. Every study goes through a 3-pipeline verification system with 5 gates and 28 kill switches before it reaches you. Claims are synthesized from multiple studies, not just one. Every number is checked against the original paper. Every source is linked. You can trace any finding on FitChef back to the exact study it came from.

AI is a core part of the process — but not the way most sites use it. We don't ask AI to "write an article about protein." Our pipeline uses AI to read full research papers, extract every data point, cross-check numbers against the source, and flag inconsistencies. A human provides every study, approves every extraction, and signs off on every final page. The AI does the verification work no human team could do at scale. The editorial decisions stay human. Full details on our AI Transparency page.

A study is a deep analysis of one peer-reviewed research paper — the full findings, limitations, and what it means for you. A claim takes one nutrition question and synthesizes the answer from multiple studies, with a consistency rating showing how well the evidence agrees. A short is a two-minute read that answers one specific question — like "does creatine build real muscle or just water weight?" All three have audio versions you can listen to.

Yes — every study, claim, short, and recipe on FitChef has a dedicated audio version. These aren't text-to-speech. Each script is rewritten specifically for listening, with its own pacing and rhythm. Press play on any page, or build a playlist of topics you care about.

We fix it and we tell you. Every correction is timestamped, permanent, and visible on our Corrections page. The old version stays on record — nothing gets quietly edited. Our Skeptic Protocol is designed to catch errors before publication, but when something slips through or the science updates, we correct publicly. That's not a feature. It's the entire point.

A personalized weekly meal plan based on your goals, calorie needs, and macros. A smart shopping list generated from your plan. Access to 1,000+ recipes. An app for iOS and Android. You can exclude ingredients, set dietary preferences — vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and more — swap any meal with one tap, and add family members at no extra cost.

Quarterly: $14.95/month (billed at $44.85). Annual: $9.95/month (billed at $119.40 — saves $60/year). Lifetime: $349 one-time. Cancel any subscription at any time — you keep access until the end of your billing period. Every plan includes a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

No. FitChef is an evidence synthesis platform — we aggregate and structure published research so you can understand what the science says. We don't conduct original research, diagnose conditions, or recommend treatments. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or exercise. Our certainty tiers reflect the volume and consistency of the evidence, not a personal recommendation.

Yes. The FitChef Meal Plan API lets developers integrate personalized meal planning into their own apps. Async generation, signed webhook delivery, diet-variant macro calculation, 50+ ingredient exclusions, and full white-label rights on all paid tiers. 2.4 million plans generated and counting.
