Prospre 2024 Nutrition App for Healthy & Easy Meal Planning

Colin Hunt, Co-Founder of Prospre, reveals more about this nutrition and meal planning app and how he foresees the future of the diet industry.

What was the inspiration behind the creation of Prospre? 

Prospre was a concept that came to me when I competed in my first bodybuilding competition. It was difficult to get the hang of hitting my protein and calorie goal every day without eating bland foods for most meals.

Health authorities agree that variety is a very important factor in a healthy diet, but it’s hard to introduce variety when trying to maintain the same nutrient intake day after day. I wanted an app where I could input my macro goals, and get a healthy meal plan that could achieve my targets, using more flavorful and nutrient-dense foods.

I didn’t want to think about how much of any ingredient I was going to eat, I just wanted to know that the recipes within the plan would be recipes that I would enjoy.

What services does the Prospre App offer?

Prospre is a meal planning app that helps people create fully customized meal plans that hit your macros with the help of software. Rather than spending a significant amount of time planning out your meals, you can set Prospre up to instantly generate meal plans that work for you.

Prospre also provides an automatic grocery list, the ability to fit in treats, and helpful guidance on how to change your diet and hit your fitness goals on time.

How do App ratings affect your business?

App ratings can be helpful or harmful for any app on the App Store. Of course, it’s nice to receive positive reviews because they show that people benefit from the product and that they like what we have worked so hard to build.

On the other hand, while negative reviews can potentially turn off new users, they also alert us to problems that need attention. Many users who give negative reviews are willing to change their rating once we’ve adequately responded to their concerns, which is a win for both of us.

That person gets their issue resolved, and we have the opportunity to make our product even better. We’re always happy to have Prospre users reach out to us. We try to make ourselves very available, and you can send us emails from within the application by selecting the “Send Feedback” option, or you can use the email address that’s listed in the app and on our website.

What’s the definition of macro-based dieting?

A macro-based diet is a portion control method that relies on keeping track of the number of grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates that you’re eating throughout a day. These three nutrients are known as macronutrients, and they’re responsible for calories in our food.

Since calories are responsible for weight loss, gain, and maintenance, counting macros is similar to counting calories for weight control. The added benefit of macro-based dieting is that you can experiment with your energy sources to find what macronutrient distribution works best for you.

For example, some people may find a diet high in carbohydrates to help sustain energy during exercise. Others may focus on an increased protein intake to support muscle growth. 

What are the most common goals of your customers?

Most of our customers share a common interest in resistance training. Macro-based dieting isn’t necessarily just for weight loss or gain, since it can achieve either predictably.

We do see more goals related to weight loss than weight gain, however, we see enough of both to know that our customers recognize that Prospre can work for them no matter their circumstances.

Have you encountered any hurdles with the business since its creation?

As with any new product, it can be difficult to get the word out. But we do have a great base of people we’ve managed to reach who love Prospre. It can also be challenging to motivate your user base to give feedback which is so important to making a high-quality product.

We’ve been lucky enough to have some of our users reach out to us with suggestions of improvements that we can make, and we’re always happy to respond to their requests to the best of our abilities!

How does Prospre differ from any other nutrition app?

Most meal planning apps will let you choose from a set list of pre-made meal plans, and calorie counters but these don’t help you figure out how to budget your calories for the day. Prospre is totally personalized and can build your meal plan from scratch in seconds.

You can tell Prospre what recipes to use, how many meals you want in a day, and set goals for daily nutrient intake. Because of this, anyone can use Prospre to make a meal plan that they actually want to follow, no matter their diet type or fitness goals.

How do you see the future of the diet industry?

The diet industry is long overdue for a shift toward products that promote sustainable,  healthy lifestyles. Even the word diet has been tarnished by companies that used the word to describe a short-term push for aggressive weight loss.

It used to mean “the kinds of food that a person habitually eats” and we need to get back to that. In the past, a lot of the diet industry was keen on pretending they had a silver bullet of some kind.

The future of the diet industry will be products that help people to find foods that will help them live a healthy life. Future diets are going to have to be personalized, sustainable, and realistic.
