elo

for people asking what to eat next

Understand your food. Feel better about your next choice.

Elo helps you read a meal beyond calories: macros, micros, balance, colour, variety and the small patterns that make a day feel good.

  • Macrosprotein, carbs and fat in context
  • Microsthe vitamins and minerals behind the plate
  • Diversitymore variety, not a list of “good” and “bad” foods

ex. a low-energy day “Let’s make the next meal nourishing, not smaller.”

Watch it notice a day

You log a few things. Elo clocks what you did — not what you didn’t — and the world responds.

An Elo day view: logged water and sleep, the companion reacting warmly, and a non-scale win appearing on the timeline — no red 'over target' text anywhere.
01

Log it

Barcode, a photo, or just type it. A few seconds each, from the app, a widget or a shortcut. Nothing turns red.

02

Elo notices

Not “you failed.” Elo clocks the meal, the water, the walk, the early night — the things you actually did.

03

The world reacts

Your companion moves. The Watering Hole fills. A non-scale win lands on your timeline, and Elo changes with it.

Screenshot: a day view with water at 6 of 8, sleep 6h 10m, a walk logged, the companion mid-reaction, and no “over target” text anywhere on screen.

Start with the question. Get a useful next step.

You do not need another app introduction. You need help with the meal, the missing nutrient, the busy week and the next decision.

What is in this meal? barcode, photo, or just type it

See the meal as a whole: calories, macros, fibre and the ingredients that make it satisfying — not just one number in isolation.

So you know what you ate without needing a nutrition degree.

What should I add? macros and micros in context

Elo points to the next useful addition — more protein, colour, fibre or variety — instead of telling you to make the whole plate smaller.

So the next choice feels practical, not corrective.

Is my week varied? patterns, not perfect meals

Look across meals and days to notice food diversity, repeat patterns and the nutrients you may be missing more often.

So healthy eating becomes a pattern you can build.

Does this fit my life? a week, not a day

A dinner out can fit inside a flexible weekly view. Elo helps you see the whole week instead of treating one meal like a failure.

So real life does not cancel your progress.

How does my day feel? water, sleep and movement

Read meals alongside hydration, rest and movement so the recommendation reflects your actual energy, not an abstract target.

So the plan changes with you.

What counts as progress? your own set, from day one

Track energy, sleep, clothes, mood and consistency as meaningful signals alongside nutrition data.

So progress is bigger than the scale.

start with your need

What are you trying to figure out today?

I want to understand a meal

See macros, micros, fibre and variety without turning lunch into homework.

I want to know what I am missing

Get a calm next-step suggestion: add, swap or explore — never a food morality score.

I want to eat more diversely

Notice repeated patterns across the week and find small ways to bring more colour and range to the plate.

I want tracking that fits real life

Use a flexible week so restaurants, travel and imperfect days remain part of the plan.

understand the pattern

Not just a score. A read-back of your day.

Elo brings meals, water, sleep and movement together before it suggests what to do next. As more days accumulate, the advice can fit your actual rhythm instead of treating every day as a blank slate.

A short night can make “go gently” the useful recommendation. A run of steady meals can make the next small mission feel achievable. The point is context, not another number to pass.

The colourful World of Elo where everyday habits become places to explore.

community as herd

A world you grow in, with a herd beside you.

Your meals, water, rest and movement become places to visit; other people become quiet company, never a leaderboard.

the herd

Company without comparison.

Not a social feed. Not friends with visible weight. Just the quiet sense that other people are doing this right now, alongside you.

Elo’s community has no public weights, rankings or pace. You get encouragement and a shared garden that grows when people notice their own wins.

A place, not a dashboard.

Meals, water, rest and movement each live somewhere you can visit. Familiar places — closer to Animal Crossing than to a tracker.

Three reasons it sticks

Progress you feel today

so that

every screen shows momentum, not just data. You leave a little more capable than you arrived.

→ you come back tomorrow.

Shame-free by design

so that

every feature, line and notification passes one test: does this create shame? If yes, it doesn’t ship.

→ a bad day doesn’t end the week.

What people say it feels like

I’ve started over every Monday for three years. Elo is the first one still on my phone in week six.
R.M., restarts on Mondays, Manchester
It didn’t tell me I failed when I went over. It said “today happened.” I actually kept going.
S.K., feels guilty after eating, Leeds
The little elephant changed how it looked when I said my jeans fit. I screenshotted it and sent it to my sister.
D.T., tried five apps before, Bristol
I muted every other app. Elo’s notifications are the only ones that don’t make me feel behind.

Questions people ask first

Is Elo just another calorie counter?

It tracks calories and macros — by barcode, photo or text — but that is the plumbing, not the point. Elo is built around progress you can see and people doing it alongside you, not a daily number to pass or fail.

Do I have to log my weight?

No. Elo never reacts to a scale number, up or down. You can keep a private trend line if you want one, but nothing in the app leads with it, and no one else ever sees it.

What platforms does Elo run on?

iPhone and Android. You can also log from a home-screen widget or a shortcut without opening the app.

Is the community a leaderboard?

No. No ranking, no visible weight, no pace — nothing to compare. Just the quiet sense that other people are logging dinner right now too, and a shared garden that grows as wins add up.

How does the weekly budget work?

You get a weekly calorie total instead of a strict daily cap, so a big meal borrows from a lighter day. It refreshes every Monday — last week's over or under is not carried forward.

Is Elo free?

Elo is free to start, with no card required. A premium tier unlocks more.
