How VYTL works
VYTL is one app where your nutrition follows your training. This guide covers setup, the four tabs, and what a normal day looks like.
Getting started
- Download VYTL from the App Store and sign in with an email code, Apple or Google.
- Setup asks about you in three short parts. Getting to know you covers your body basics, goal, daily activity and sleep. How you train covers your experience, equipment, how many days a week, and when you train. How you eat covers your eating rhythm, meal times, diet and any medication you want VYTL to know about.
- Near the end, VYTL offers to connect Apple Health. It is optional. What it's used for.
- Choose how to run it. Build me a plan gives you a plan shaped around your life, and it is part of Pro, with a free trial. I'll run my own lets you log training and meals your way, with daily targets and no prescriptions, on Free.
Either way, VYTL sets your daily calorie and macro targets from setup. If you choose a plan and decide not to start a trial, you can skip it on the plan screen and track on Free.
The four tabs
- Today
- The day at a glance: readiness, today's session, your meals, and what's next. The teal V at the top opens VYTL Coach.
- Train
- Your plan or your own sessions, cardio, history, and strength progress.
- Eat
- Log meals, see today's targets and plate, your meal plan, and your pantry.
- You
- Progress, body measurements, and Settings behind the gear at the top right.
A normal day
Morning
Do the check-in: bed and wake times, how the night was, how you feel. It takes a few taps, and it gives you a readiness score for the day. The morning check-in.
Training
Log the session as you go, set by set, or track a run with GPS. Log a workout. Track a run.
Eating
Log meals however is fastest: say it, photograph it, search it or scan it. On a training day your targets are higher than on a rest day, and they rise on days Apple Health shows you've been more active. Log a meal.
Evening
Today turns toward the evening: anything you forgot to log, and a look at tomorrow. If a planned session didn't happen, VYTL offers to move it to tomorrow or skip it this week.
A missed day is information, not a failure. Tomorrow opens at full targets.
Free and Pro
Free to track. Pro coaches. Logging your training and food is free. Pro adds plans written for you, VYTL Coach, and the long view of your history. See both plans side by side.
How coaching adapts
Your food targets move with today's training. Your sets start from your last ones. A plan waits for you when life gets in the way, and it is rebuilt only when you ask. How VYTL adapts, in detail.
