A new meal plan shouldn't take two hours.
We talked to nutrition specialists across the region. What we found was the same story, repeated.
A single meal plan can take up to two hours — manual calculations in Word, swapping ingredients by hand, cross-referencing macros from textbooks. One specialist told us she copy-pastes ingredients between plans because typing them into her tool is too slow. Another tracks every appointment in a paper notebook and stays an hour past her shift to see patients who show up late.
Patient records sit in three different places: an InBody device's local hard drive, a paper folder with grid sheets, and a WhatsApp chat. Plans are printed and handed over on paper. Follow-ups happen over WhatsApp messages that disappear into scroll. And when we asked "how do you organize your schedule?" — almost everyone said the same thing: "honestly, it doesn't take much time." The real time sink isn't scheduling. It's building the plan.
