Question 1

How is my diet plan created, and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

When you start a plan, whattoBite builds it for you meal by meal, one day at a time — each day of your week is added as soon as it's finished. While it's building, a small 'Building Plan' card floats at the bottom of the screen showing live progress like 'Day 3 of 7 generated'. You don't need to keep the app open — the plan keeps building even if you close it.

Question 2

Can I close the app while my plan is generating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your plan is built on whattoBite's servers, not on your phone, so closing or switching away from the app never cancels it. When you come back, the app picks up right where the plan left off. If you have notifications turned on, we'll also send you a 'Your diet plan is ready!' alert the moment it finishes.

Question 3

How do I regenerate my weekly plan?

Accepted Answer

Open the History tab (Your Journey) and tap the card labelled 'Regenerate This Week's Plan'. A fresh 7-day plan starts building straight away, and you can follow its progress from the floating card at the bottom of the screen. When it's done, a celebration popup appears — tap 'View my plan' and your new week is already live on your dashboard.

Question 4

Is there a limit to how many times I can regenerate my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — plan regenerations are limited each month, and your remaining count is always shown right under the Regenerate button on the History tab (the 'Manual' counter). Pro members get more generations, plus an 'Auto' allowance for automatic weekly plans. If you're part of a Family plan, regenerations come from a shared household pool that resets at the start of each month.

Question 5

What is the Diet Blueprint?

Accepted Answer

The Diet Blueprint is the strategy your meals are built around — things like how many meals you eat each day, when you eat, how protein is spread across the day, your preferred protein, carb and fat sources, and any hard rules. You can find it under Profile → Health & Goals → Diet Blueprint. It's created automatically with your first plan, but you can view it any time.

Question 6

Can I edit my Diet Blueprint?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Open Profile → Health & Goals → Diet Blueprint and tap the pencil icon in the top corner. You can change any card — meals per day, food sources, rules and more — then tap Save. Your edits apply to the next plan you generate, so regenerate your plan afterwards to see them in action. If your blueprint is empty, you can build it from scratch with the 'Craft it myself' button.

Question 7

What happens when my new plan is ready?

Accepted Answer

You'll see a celebratory popup with confetti announcing 'Your new plan is ready', along with a quick summary of your week — days, calories and protein per day. Tap 'View my plan' to jump to your dashboard, where the new plan is already active. If the app was closed when it finished, we'll let you know with a notification (if you have them enabled), and the popup will greet you the next time you open the app.

Question 8

Do my old plans disappear when I regenerate?

Accepted Answer

No — every plan whattoBite has built for you is kept in the History tab. Your current week shows under 'Active Plan', earlier ones appear under 'Past Plans', and the calendar at the bottom marks each day a plan was created. Tap any past plan or dotted calendar day to open it again.

Question 9

Can I have a cheat meal in my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Go to Profile → Preferences and turn on 'Weekly Cheat Meal' — one guilt-free meal each week to keep you on track. On the free plan it lands on Sunday dinner. With Pro, you can let Watto pick the perfect moment automatically, or choose your own day and meal slot.

Question 10

Why does the app ask me to update my plan after I change my health details?

Accepted Answer

When you add or change something in your Health Profile — like a lab report, medication or gut symptom — it can affect what foods are right for you. So the app shows a 'Your health data changed' prompt offering to regenerate your plan with that new information baked into every meal. Tap 'Update my plan' to refresh it, or 'Later' if you'd rather keep your current week.

Question 11

Can I regenerate plans for my whole family at once?

Accepted Answer

If you're the family owner, yes. On the History tab you'll see two options: 'Regenerate the Family's Week', which re-plans everyone's meals from one kitchen, and 'Regenerate Just My Plan' for only your own week. A full Family Sync takes a few minutes and you can watch each member's progress live from the Family hub. There's a monthly allowance of manual family syncs, and an automatic sync also runs every Sunday.
