# Fitmate Coach

> Fitmate Coach is a 1-on-1 online weight loss coaching service that combines certified human nutrition coaches with AI-powered meal analysis. It costs $69/month after a free 5-day trial. The approach is habit-based and non-restrictive — no calorie counting, no rigid meal plans.

Fitmate Coach works by having members log meals (via photos or text), receiving instant AI feedback on each meal, and meeting with a real human coach weekly for accountability and guidance. The coaching methodology ("The Fitmate Method") focuses on protein and fiber for satiety, helping people lose weight by eating foods that keep them full rather than eating less. Fitmate also supports people on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) with protein-focused coaching to preserve muscle mass.
