Show HN: MetrIQ – An AI fitness coach who supports you

https://metriq.fitness
2•zinas•58m ago
metrIQ started as a spreadsheet for my own training. The numbers were fine, but a spreadsheet never tells you anything — it just holds what you typed.

So I switched to asking ChatGPT. It could explain things, but it forgot my history, answered the same question differently on different days, couldn't give me the stats I wanted, and buried it all in generic advice. I wanted a coach who remembered me.

So I built my own. The first version was a rough thing in Lovable, mostly because I wanted an excuse to try it. Then friends started using it, it actually helped them, and I rebuilt the whole app properly for launch.

That's metrIQ. It's Sophia, your coach. A sentence is enough to log something, and unlike a chatbot she remembers your goals, your weeks and what went sideways last month. Her targets and nudges come out of that. She doesn't only track your fitness journey, but offers insights, advice and support.

I am eager for people to try it and I appreciate all feedback, warm and cold, especially from people who are training or people who are in a weight loss journey. If you tried it and didn't like it, drop me a line about why, maybe i can fix that

I used to body build and I just don't understand how these AI calorie tracking tools are actually useful.

For example, 1 tablespoon of oil is 120 calories and 14g of fat. Miscalculating 2 tablespoons per day for a month is 3600 calories (or an 1.5 day's worth of food untracked). If you are trying to track what you eat, you end up cooking yourself and eating the same meals everyday so you aren't constantly re-measuring everything.

If your goal is to evaluate food for allergies, then tracking what you eat makes sense. But when it comes to macro tracking, how much is just as important as what.
