Frequently asked questions
If you don't see your question here, send us feedback from the app: Profile → Help & feedback.
How does meal scan work?
Open the app, tap + on Today, then Scan a meal. Snap a photo of your plate and SquadAI estimates the foods and macros. Tap items to include or exclude them, pick which meal (Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Snack), then Log.
Photo estimates are quick but not perfect — adjust quantities if needed. For packaged foods, the barcode scanner is more precise.
What is a squad?
A squad is any group on SquadFuel — friends, family, a team, or a coached program. Every squad works the same way: a feed, a leaderboard, and challenges, with one or more leaders (a coach or captain).
Start one from the app with friends, or run a full program from the web at coach.squadfuel.fit — it's the same squad either way, and it can grow from a friends group into a multi-team program without starting over.
Who can see my food diary?
When you join a squad, your food diary — everything you log — is shared with that squad's leaders by default (you'll see this before you join). You can turn it off for any squad, at any time, in Profile → Privacy & sharing; leaders then see only that your diary is private, never what's in it.
Teammates never see your diary. Squad feed posts are separate — you choose every post you share. If you're under 18, your diary starts private in squads led by another athlete.
How do I create a squad?
From the app: Squad → Start a squad. You'll get an invite link to share with friends or teammates. Coaches running multiple shifts can manage everything on the web at coach.squadfuel.fit.
How do I join a squad?
Tap the invite link your captain or coach shared — it opens the app to the join screen. Or open the app and tap Squad → Join a squad.
Can I leave a squad?
Yes. Open the squad and tap Leave. If you created the squad, you can't leave (you'd orphan it); for v1, contact us to delete or transfer ownership.
How do I change my macro targets?
Plan tab → Edit targets. Set your calories, protein, carbs, fat, and micronutrients. Tap Rebuild with AI if you want SquadAI to set them based on your goal.
What is AI Meal Prep?
A weekly meal plan built from your meal schedule and macro targets. Plan → AI Assisted Meal Prep. You get a per-day plan plus a weekly shopping list. Rebuild regenerates whenever you change targets or foods.
I didn't get my verification code
Check your spam folder first — it sometimes lands there on the first email from a new sender. If it's not there, tap Resend code on the verification screen (there's a 60-second cooldown between sends).
Still nothing after a couple of minutes? Make sure you used the right email at signup. Tap Cancel and try again to start over with the correct address.
My verification code expired
Codes expire after 15 minutes for security. Tap Resend code on the verification screen — you'll get a fresh one. The old one stops working as soon as you request a new one.
If you've entered the wrong code 5 times, the current code is locked too. Resend gets you back in.
I forgot my password — how do I reset it?
On the log-in screen, tap Forgot password?. We'll email you a reset link that expires in 1 hour.
If you signed up with Sign in with Apple, you don't have a password — open the app and tap Sign in with Apple with the same Apple ID you signed up with.
How do I delete my account?
Profile → Danger Zone → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and all your data (food logs, plan, squads). It can't be undone.
If you only want to clear your data but keep the account, use Delete all data above it.
How do I turn notifications on or off?
In the app: Profile → Notifications. There are separate toggles for meal reminders, weekly recap, squad activity, challenges, and coach messages. You can also turn off all notifications in your iPhone Settings → SquadFuel → Notifications.
Why isn't my meal showing up in today's totals?
The most common cause is timezone. Day buckets are based on your account's timezone. The app refreshes your timezone whenever you log in, so if you've recently moved or the totals look off, sign out and back in to sync.
