Part 2: Accessing & Setting Up The App

Once your coach has approved your account application, you can follow the below instructions:

1. Launch the Hey Coach app and sign in with the details you used in Part 1.

2. Add a profile photo. To Do this, hit the menu button (the 3 horizontal lines) to open up the side menu, then hit 'My Profile'

3. Once you have opened up your profile, hit the GEAR icon (top right corner).

4. Now you will see your profile page where you add a profile photo. Click the circle in the middle (the +) to take a photo or upload a photo. Hit save/done once done.

5. You can now begin logging your meals, messaging your coach and your group.

Feel free to play around with the app. Post comments, like meals, mark things as done etc. You will be using the Hey Coach app on a regular basis, so it’s important to get used to the app. 

When your coach tells you to start, you will be using this app to log every meal you eat. It’s a simple process, snap a photo, add a brief description and you’re done. Your coach will monitor your meals and ‘Like’ it if it's good (ie, meets your diet protocol) and sometimes add comments.

If you're in a group you will also be able to see meals that other people are eating.

Your coach will now be able to see your meals and data. Please reach out to them directly if you have any questions!
