Does NutriScan work for gaining weight or bulking?

Summarize with: ChatGPT Claude AI Mode Perplexity

Yes, through the Muscle gain goal. It sets a target weight, a weekly pace, daily calories and a protein target that you can adjust. The goal list in NutriScan is Weight loss, Muscle gain, Diabetes, Pregnancy, PCOS and Viral / flu recovery, so there is no separate weight-gain goal.

Setting it up

1. Choose Muscle gain as your main goal during onboarding.
2. Enter height, weight, and your target weight. The app shows a live BMI with a label such as Underweight or Healthy.
3. Pick a pace: Relaxed 0.25, Recommended 0.5 or Ambitious 0.75 kg per week. The app shows the goal date and kcal per day.
4. Tell the app how active you are, then tap Build my plan.
