For nutrition coaches
Daily habit check-ins your clients actually reply to.
Food logging apps get opened twice and abandoned. Helping sends short protein, water, and sleep check-ins over SMS and Telegram — one question, one tap — so you see daily compliance without nagging your clients into a spreadsheet.
The problem
Clients will not log their food into an app. They will reply to a text
You know exactly what your clients should be doing. The hard part is knowing whether they did it. You hand them a tracking app, or a spreadsheet, or a food diary, and for a week the data flows — and then it does not. The clients who need the structure most are the first to stop opening the app, and you are left coaching blind.
The reason is simple: logging is friction, and friction loses. Asking someone to open an app, navigate three screens, and type their meals is asking them to do admin about their own lunch. The clients who stick with it are the ones who needed it least.
Helping removes the friction. Instead of an app to open, your client gets a single message — “did you hit your protein target today?” — and replies yes or no in the same thread. One question, one tap, done. You set the habits to track; Helping asks them on schedule, in your name, and brings every reply back to one place.
How it works
How Helping works for nutrition coaches
Set the habits and the schedule once. Helping asks, your clients reply, and every answer comes back logged.
- Protein and macro check-ins
- “Did you hit your protein target today?” sent at the time you choose, with yes or no logged automatically and free-text replies like “about 120g, travelling today” kept for you to read.
- Water and habit check-ins
- Track water, supplements, or any binary habit — “did you take your vitamins this morning?” — one question per message, on the schedule you set, in the client's local timezone.
- Sleep and recovery check-ins
- Ask about sleep quality or hours, capture the reply, and spot the clients whose nutrition is slipping alongside their rest before they tell you in a session.
- Streaks and response rates, tracked for you
- A running streak, response rate, and engagement score per client, updated daily — so the client whose replies have dropped from daily to twice-a-week is impossible to miss.
- Quiet follow-up when they go quiet
- When a client misses a check-in, Helping follows up on the next channel after the timeout you set, then gives you a heads-up if they still have not replied.
- SMS and Telegram, your voice
- Check-ins carry your name and your wording, never the word “Helping”. SMS works on every phone; Telegram gives tap-to-reply buttons and is free to send. WhatsApp Business is coming.
A day with Helping
What a day looks like
It is 7:30am. Helping has already sent a protein check-in to each of your daily clients at 7am, and a water check-in to the four on a hydration protocol. You open the dashboard over breakfast, not the inbox. Eight clients have replied yes; three are waiting; one — Marco, usually reliable — has not.
You did not send any of those messages. At 9am, two hours after Marco's check-in went out with no reply, Helping followed up on Telegram for you. By the time you have finished your coffee, his reply is in: “yes, hit it, forgot to answer.” Logged, matched, done.
Your review calls later are grounded in the actual week — fourteen daily check-ins, an 86% response rate, two free-text notes about travel days — rather than guesses. The clients who stuck to the plan are visible; the ones who slipped are flagged. You spend the calls on behaviour, not on reconstruction.
