Knoomi is a real-time food decision system rather than a calorie counter. It predicts when hunger is likely to return, reads whether a meal is structurally sufficient, learns what tends to make your meals feel complete, and reassesses foods in the moment you're about to eat them — keeping the foods you already eat, with small swaps, smart additions and better timing. It doesn't just answer "how many calories?"; it answers "what makes sense to eat now?"

Is Knoomi a meal-plan or diet app?

No. Knoomi does not put you on a meal plan and forbids no foods. It starts with what you already eat — frozen food, takeaway, whatever your diet is — and quietly adjusts portions, timing, and one or two additions per meal.

How does Knoomi work?

Knoomi understands what shapes your hunger — meals, training, sleep, steps, and pantry — and applies small levers: add one thing, swap the form, cook what you own, move a snack to where it helps, right-size one thing, and plan the whole day around events like eating out.

Does Knoomi count calories?

Calories are one input, not the product. Knoomi treats a calorie deficit as a ceiling, never a quota, and focuses on satiety, hunger coverage, protein floors, and timing so you stay steady instead of just hitting a number.

How much does Knoomi cost?

Knoomi is in Early Access with a founding-member price of $12.99/month or $99.99/year, locked while you stay continuously subscribed — you keep it even after prices rise to $19.99/month and $149.99/year when the cohort closes.

Is Knoomi medical advice?

No. Knoomi is nutrition and health software, not medical advice.

How it works

Your food. Your day. Fewer bad decisions.

It learns what you eat, what’s at home, when you train and when you get hungry — then gives you the smallest useful move.

Your day

Your pantry

What you want to eat

A realistic meal — or one small improvement

You choose what happens

Context first

The same food is a different answer on a different day.

Knoomi never calls one food universally better. It weighs the day around the meal — the time, what you ate, how long until the next meal, and whether you’re about to train.

An ordinary lunchHigher-fibre bread

Nothing pressing after it — so the version that holds you longer wins.

Lunch, 75 minutes before boxingWhite bread

Fibre that “scores better” would sit heavy.

Same bread. Opposite answer. The context decides.

Why identical deficits don’t work

A calorie deficit is recovery stress. So is everything else.

Your body doesn’t feel them separately. Some days a ~400 kcal deficit is easy. On other days the exact same 400 is what pushes recovery over the edge.

That’s usually when people notice

Training quality falling
Fatigue building
Soreness that won’t clear
Water retention hiding the loss
Hunger getting much harder

Same deficit every day

Recovery capacity

Too much at once

Knoomi adapts

Recovery capacity

Your deficit

Room to recover

The deficit moves to where there is room for it. It doesn’t disappear.

Over the line, this usually shows up as

Training feels flat
Recovery takes longer
Hunger and cravings rise
Energy and focus drop
Water can hide progress

The extra food isn’t a reward — it funds

Training fuel
Glycogen restored
Muscle repair
Normal meals

Training days are fuelled first — then they carry more of the week's cut, because there is more room left on them.

One real week from Knoomi’s own planner — 75 kg, boxing three times, lifting twice. Yours is built from your training, steps, sleep, weight trend and how long you’ve been cutting. The kg/lb is a projection at the usual ~7,700 kcal per kg — real change is part fat, part water.

What it can actually see

It adapts to the signals it has. It doesn’t pretend to have the rest.

Not visible to itHormones, life stress, illness, and most of what’s happening inside you.

So when it knows lessit gets more careful, not more confident. Thin evidence widens the estimate and eases the cut — it never sharpens a guess.

Your pantry

Knoomi learns your food — not a library of recipes.

It understands the job a food plays — things like

The protein
The base
The volume
The treat
The fuel before training

A generic app sees“smoked salmon”

Knoomi can understand

a cold, savoury protein
works on toast, in wraps, salads or pasta
not something for a cereal bowl
used in a realistic serving range

When you need a meal

Knoomi builds from what’s actually in your kitchen.

What you actually ownnot a recipe library
A few real mealssized for today, not a spreadsheet
You pick and editnothing is applied for you

Still a meal you recognise:Yogurt bowlCereal bowlRice platePastaWrapSandwichBurger plateSnack plate

The meal builder does its sizing and macro math on your device, in plain deterministic logic. AI, where it’s used, helps understand what you mean — it never invents a food you don’t own, and it doesn’t get the final say on the food math.

When you already have a meal

Type the meal you want. Knoomi finds the small wins.

Your meal stays exactly what you typed
Nothing moves while you type
A few small moves — never a rebuild
Every move shows the trade-off first
Nothing applies until you tap Apply

Swap within the same use

Regular milkProtein milk

Same bowl. More protein. Holds longer where the meal supports it.

Resize or swap the base

A scoop of riceA bigger portion of potatoes

More on the plate at similar calories — when it fits the meal.

Change protein direction

Chicken thighChicken breast

Leaner when the meal is genuinely too dense — and a fuller portion when it’s genuinely under-fuelled.

Cut fat, keep the food

Regular mozzarellaLighter mozzarella

Only when both do the same job. Never cottage cheese on a pizza.

Reduce, don’t rebuild

A heavy pour of oilA smaller, realistic amount

The meal stays intact — just the densest part trimmed.

Keep the main, change the side

Burger + big friesBurger + a lighter side

One coherent move. The burger stays.

The smallest change wins

It reaches for the smallest fix first — tune what you already have before touching anything else.

It keeps the meal you recognise, and only rebuilds it from scratch when you actually ask for a new one.

Knoomi can advise. It can’t take the meal away from you.

Treats

Pin the treat first. Knoomi builds the meal around it.

The usual wayDinner, built firstno room leftThe treat is whatever survives. Usually nothing.

With KnoomiIce cream, pinned firstThe plate, built around itThe treat and its portion are the fixed part. The plate moves.

Ice cream at dinner
Chocolate after lunch
Fries with the burger

A treat is food, not a failure. It gets planned like everything else.

Better structure

Every time you eat is another decision.

Scattered

Three eating occasions

3 decisions

7:00Protein shakeA light start
10:15Protein barAnother food decision
12:30LunchThe first complete meal

Structured

Two complete eating occasions

2 decisions

7:00Shake, yogurt and fruitThe same morning calories, together
12:30LunchNo snack needed in between

Same calories. One less decision — and the snacks that are doing a job (a treat, training fuel, a real gap) stay.

One meal changes the rest of the day

The goal isn’t a perfect meal. It’s a day that doesn’t collapse later.

Wake

Bed

Why the advice stays sane

A better number isn’t enough. The meal still has to make sense.

No potatoes in the sushi
No cottage cheese on the pizza
No heavy, high-fibre plate before hard training
No swapping one oil for another to look like a saving
No mathematically-correct but absurd portions

What stays yours — and what Knoomi won’t pretend to know

Every change is yours to make.

Add any ingredient, at any amount.
Remove anything.
Nothing moves on its own while you edit.
Saving keeps the exact meal you built.
Suggestions stay separate until you accept them.

It’s honest about what it can’t see.

It doesn’t measure your hormones or know your exact hunger.
Wearable and context data are imperfect — so estimates are ranges.
Missing information widens the range, never narrows a guess.
You’re always free to eat earlier or later.
It’s decision support, not medical advice.

The science, kept honest

Feeling full now is not the same as staying full.

The same bowl, two small changes. Trading the honey for a spoon of almond butter extends how long it carries you — that’s coverage. Swapping plain yogurt for Greek makes you fuller at the table — that’s satiety. Two different jobs, one bowl. Both changes add calories, so this is a lesson in what the two words mean, not a free win.

Satiety: Full by the end of the meal. Satisfied enough at the table that you don’t reach for more. Protein, fiber and volume do the work.
Coverage: Carried until hunger returns. How long that fullness holds. Fat, food form and carb speed shape it — the part most apps ignore.

The win is rarely one meal. It’s the shape of the day.

Fixing a meal that was genuinely weak can add well over an hour. Tuning a meal that was already decent usually moves it far less — and that small change only matters when the meal was short of the next window anyway. Knoomi’s job is telling those two cases apart.

Built on published nutrition science — gastric emptying, solid vs liquid, protein, fiber, fat and how fast carbs clear. The food math runs on your device in plain, deterministic logic. AI, where it’s used, helps understand what you mean — it doesn’t get the final say on the numbers. These are forecasts, not promises: a window around when hunger is likely to return, not an exact minute.

Inside the model

Every meal starts a hunger curve.
We compute where it climbs back.

What the meal adds

Proteinbuilds a more durable meal
Fibercan extend coverage, especially in a low-fiber meal
Fatcan slow clearing, with diminishing return
Solid & volumeaffect how the meal is processed
Refined carbscan shorten coverage in a weaker meal
Liquid caloriesoften clear faster than solid food

A window, not an appointment. Real hunger varies, so Knoomi plans around a range rather than pretending to know an exact minute.

What your day adjusts

Time of daycircadian appetite rhythm
Recent mealshow full you already are
Activity & stepsmovement pulls it earlier
Sleep & stresspoor sleep shortens control

It does not read your mind or measure your hormones. It combines the signals available to it and plans around a range rather than a single minute — we would rather be honestly approximate than precisely wrong.

No generic meal plans.No forbidden foods.No new you.Just your diet — finally working.
