Tips & Guides

The best place to start is the Food Journal.

To show whether and by how much you differ from your personal targets, Cholesterol Coach first needs to know those targets. Please take about two minutes to complete your details under Goals.

No. Start with Goals, then record your normal diet in the Food Journal. You can use the other modules later when needed.

When you enter a food and its amount in grams in the Food Journal, you immediately see the corresponding values.

If they are above your target, reduce the amount or choose a more suitable alternative. It is important to stick to the amount you entered.

The displayed values are calculated from the amount entered. A realistic amount allows Cholesterol Coach to evaluate your diet meaningfully.

Goals provide the basis for your personal evaluation. You can also include the weight option there.

Under Preferences, you define which information should be considered when creating your 7-Day Meal Plan.

When creating the 7-Day Meal Plan, you can specify which foods you already have at home. These can be considered in the plan and may not need to be purchased again.

The 7-Day Meal Plan uses your existing information and selections, including Goals, Preferences, Own Menus, imported recipes, and foods you already have, exclude, or dislike.

On HealthyChefRecipes, you can select recipes and save them for later transfer to Cholesterol Coach. The save function is available on the recipe overview.
