Frequently asked questions
What is Cheat Day?
Cheat Day is an iPhone and iPad app that shows nutrition facts for 800+ restaurants and grocery stores like Trader Joe’s, Target, and Whole Foods Market, so you can find the healthiest foods wherever you eat. Sort any menu or aisle by protein, calories, sodium, and more, compare two items side by side, and log meals to Apple Health.
How accurate is the nutrition data?
Cheat Day uses the nutrition information restaurants and grocery brands publish. Health scores are only given when an item’s data is complete and consistent, so an item with impossible numbers, like more sugar than carbs, gets no score instead of a wrong one. Menus change, so if you have an allergy or a strict dietary need, double-check with the restaurant before you order.
Which grocery stores are included?
Grocery, warehouse, and convenience stores, including Trader Joe’s, Target, Whole Foods Market, Kroger, Publix, H-E-B, Wegmans, Costco, and 7-Eleven. Store brands like Great Value, Kirkland Signature, and Good & Gather are included too.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Menus and nutrition are built into the app, so browsing, sorting, comparing, and logging meals all work offline once you’ve signed in.
How is the health score worked out?
It starts at 50, adds points for protein and fiber, and takes points away for sodium, saturated fat, sugar, trans fat, and very large portions. Nutrients are measured per calorie, so half a salad and a whole salad score alike. Items without enough nutrition data get no score instead of a guess.
What gets sent to Apple Health?
The meals you log, as dietary energy, protein, total fat, and carbohydrates. You choose whether to connect Apple Health, and you can change it anytime in the Health app.
Can I use it on iPad?
Yes. Cheat Day runs on both iPhone and iPad.
