# Read the meal. Not a food grade.

POWR does not display a food grade. You see the recorded nutrients and ingredients, with optional meal discussion on Pro. Moving means starting a new food diary, not transferring a rating history.

## What is different about the read

Three of these are free. One is POWR Pro.

Free, before you install

### Our approach

Read our evidence standards and limitations before installing. General educational explanations are separate from the targets in your account.

Every entry

### No score on any screen

POWR does not display a food grade. On Pro, the coach discusses your meal in language, alongside its nutrition information.

Every entry, free

### Micronutrients and ingredients

Vitamins and minerals with %DV where a reference value exists, and what the food is actually made of. Both on the free tier, on every entry.

POWR Pro

### The coach's read

The coach's explanation of your logged meal. This is a Pro feature.

## What arrives on the first launch

POWR requests 54 read types from HealthKit in one permission sheet. Whatever your old setup wrote there is history POWR reads on day one.

Workouts

Every session Apple Health holds, with route and heart rate where the app that recorded them saved those too. You do not retype a run another app already wrote.

Sleep

Sleep and heart history from Apple Health can provide context. Readings may be unavailable until enough recent data is present.

Heart

Resting rate, variability, and the raw signals underneath. Several of those POWR reads on the phone and sends nowhere.

Weight and body

The weigh-ins your scale or your last app wrote to Health. Permitted weight history is available alongside your new food diary.

Nutrition is the one that does not.

Nutrition is not among the 54 read types. POWR writes your meals to Health and never reads anyone else's in, and there is no importer. The diary starts on install day. The full accounting is on /switch.

## Food is more than a grade

A nutrient breakdown and a food grade answer different questions. POWR shows the recorded amounts without collapsing the meal into one displayed grade.

If you want an interpretation, Pro adds a discussion of the logged meal. It can be wrong, and it does not decide whether a food is permitted or whether a diet is medically appropriate.

What is free and what Pro adds is on [pricing](https://powrhealth.com/pricing). iPhone only.

## FAQ

### So does POWR rate my food or not?

POWR does not display a food grade. On Pro, the coach discusses your meal in language, alongside its nutrition information.

### Where can I read about POWR's approach?

Read [Our approach](https://powrhealth.com/our-approach) for evidence standards, uncertainty, and corrections. The [learning library](https://powrhealth.com/learn) answers general nutrition and activity questions with linked sources.

### Does POWR have diet or lifestyle plans?

POWR has Plan my week, its meal planner, but no browsable diet or lifestyle-plan library and no guided diet programs. Structured training plans are a separate Pro feature.

### Can I import my food log?

No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health.

### Is there an Android app?

No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
