BodyFast review
A focused fasting companion with free schedules and paid personalized coaching.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
BodyFast is a mobile app for adults who want to start or maintain an intermittent-fasting routine, including for weight loss. Its core tools center on fasting schedules: users can choose standard plans such as 16:8 and 5:2, follow fasting and eating windows with a clock, and receive reminders. Water tracking, weight tracking, and progress statistics add basic habit and weight monitoring. The free version includes standard fasting plans and progress tracking, making the app most relevant to people who want structured fasting support rather than a broad nutrition suite.
The optional Coach subscription is the step up for users who want more guidance. It adds personalized weekly fasting plans, custom-plan creation, additional schedules, daily coaching messages, weekly health and fitness challenges, recipes, and expanded access to the AI Food Scanner. The scanner analyzes food photos and presents nutritional information. This gives BodyFast a mix of fasting guidance and food awareness, though its published focus remains fasting routines rather than full meal planning or a comprehensive calorie-management toolkit. According to the vendor's pricing note, Coach pricing varies with subscription duration, purchase method, platform fees, and promotions.
Platform fit is straightforward but limited to mobile: BodyFast is available on iOS and Android, with email as its listed support channel. Choose it if fasting windows, reminders, and an optional weekly coaching structure are the main needs. It is less suitable for someone seeking a desktop experience, broad meal-planning capabilities, or a wider support channel mix. The free plan can cover basic fasting and progress tracking; users seeking personalized schedules and the expanded scanner should weigh the paid Coach subscription against those specific needs.
