Equ was formerly trading as Equalution.
If I could give 0 stars I would. Stay away from this app. They charge you randomly and even if you have canceled your plan with them they find someway to still charge you. Even if you deleted the app they claim they cannot see that and still charge you. Absolutely ridiculous. When I told them but I canceled and deleted the app, they said so sad… Read more
too bad. When they could of done good will and refunded the amount. I heard they make there money by scamming people with plans.

Pros: at first I was reluctant by the higher calories than what I would normally diet on, however, I found that with a less strict deficit I was able to be more compliant. Also, allowing all foods within that budget helped me to break some strict fruit rules like avoiding chocolate, and allowing it regularly moderation stopped binges. Cons: the… Read more
first week felt very overwhelming, especially where the app specifically tells you to shop at a specific supermarket. And if you're not used to that supermarket or you don't normally shop at supermarket or it tells you to shop at multiple super markets, it can feel hard to fit that into your lifestyle.
I also feel like the food waste is potentially higher because it will tell you to use 100g of an onion rather than just one onion.
Or 390g of canned diced tomato instead of just a can of diced tomatoes which is 400g.
Obviously depending on how strict you are and how compliant you are will change your experience of these guidelines.
The recipes are really yum. A lot of them are quick and easy to make and suitable to feed the family.
However, I felt though I ended up having too bulk prep so much more than what I was bulk prepping before the challenge as I'd normally just bulk prepped lunch and dinner, whereas in the challenge as well for prepping lunch, dinner, I added prepping snacks as well as breakfast. So it makes prep a massive session, and that could be difficult to maintain. However, it then made the week easier having everything prepped and not needing to make decisions day to day for when hunger strikes outside of my normal prepped food.
Definitely pros / cons but overall I will be incorporating some of the tools I've learned from this app moving forward. However, I don't think I'll remain subscribed as I already have a lifetime access to another food tracking app and am not sure how I feel about ongoing subscription to a program as it ties you to it and I would prefer to take some lessons for a few months, keep some of the recourses and reuse plans without being subscribed after a period.

I was skeptical about joining up for a meal plan as previous experience usually leaves me eating so few calories and failing after a few weeks. This one is so different, I actually feel like I am eating more than what I should be but I was seeing… Read more · 1
results from week 1. The meals are so easy to make in advance and don’t take hours to prepare or a million different ingredients. I love that I still get to feel satisfied by my meals, have a sweet treat every night and see weight loss results every week. Highly recommend.
Follow-up · •the portion sizes are good. Each individual will have different goals so portion sizes will vary per person, however I have never felt hungry after a meal. I find the dinners to be the most generous and on a few occasions have had to double check my weights as the serve seems larger than it should be. •the meal variety is great, you can have as… Read more

I started Equ about a month ago and since starting both hubby and I are absolutely loved every meal plan since starting. I really didn’t know what to expect when we started on this journey. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get there food goals sorted. Show details · 1
I have been using equ for about 4 weeks as I signed up for an 8 week challenge it was a good price to try it out rather than paying for the subscription and so far its good. All the recipes are great there is a lot of variety and the app is really easy to use. Show details · 1

Yikes!! Don’t sign up with this company unless you want them to take money from your account after a once-off, completely average “challenge”, send no notice they will continue to charge you after the once-off challenge, and then when you contact them the day of to be refunded they refuse to do so stating they are “transparent” in their terms and… Read more
conditions. Not to mention the layout of their app and website are terrible so it makes it difficult to even find where to cancel.
It’s 2026, it’s time to do far better! PLENTY of many better companies that aren’t set up to scam you of your money and then provide the most ridiculous customer service.
Thanks for your feedback - we’re really sorry to hear you had… Read more

I found the app on my phone a little frustrating for a number of reasons as follows: it does not have a weekly or even daily shopping list which makes planning difficult and is very time consuming to figure out. New plans are only available at the beginning of the week also making planning difficult. I would prefer a summary of the week's menu… Read more
in electronic document form with links to recipes and shopping list. Other apps do this and it makes things a lot easier for planning, for swapping meals etc. It would make it easier to have the ability to check in at any time as other commitments make it difficult by set time, rather than calling it a late check in. Can't bring up the app on my computer which would be easier for me to read and record. And more issues. I found the app not to my liking in terms of usability and ease of use. In fact I have no cancelled my membership and think there are much easier apps than this one. I am particularly regretful that I have wasted my money. No matter how good the plan is, if you can't access the information easily, plan easily and shop easily, then you cannot reasonably follow the program.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this detailed… Read more
Joined an 8 week challenge for fat loss. Initially I was a bit taken back about having protein on the lower end (1.7g per kg) as I’ve done coaching before & other challenges & have always had higher protein to support strength training & breastfeeding. I emailed equ about this but they were reluctant to change it as “it was part of their… Read more
strategy”. So I trusted the process. Food: The great thing about EQU is their meal options & they’re really yummy. App: the challenge community chat where everyone supports one another is almost dysfunctional because there are way too many people in the challenge & they don’t cap it. There was 1607 people & it’s like a TikTok live comment section where you rarely get responded to. The food tracking is 0/10 because it shows incorrect calories/macros for 80% of packaged foods (it doesn’t match nutritional labels). I had to check it with MYP & Cronometer or else my calories would have been off. There were some people in the community chat who also paid extra for a coach & were saying at 3wks in they still hadn’t heard from them! EQU started me off with very high calories assuming that my maintenance was high, but it’s not that high so that placed me in a very slight deficit to begin with, so my small goal of losing 5kg in 8 weeks was realistically not going to happen. I grew concerned about the foods I was eating, though delicious, weren’t aiding in milk production (I.e., lentils, leafy greens, etc, also again my protein should have been higher for this and my fats were also not high enough. I’ve been other challenges where my calories were lower but high protein and fat and achieved great results, but I wanted to try something new. Unfortunately at 5wks in my supply dropped & got my cycle. Frustrated and upset to say the least. I was not the only one who experienced this in this challenge. I do question the “strategy” that they go by because it shouldn’t be a ‘one size fits all’.
They also give out free memberships to those in the challenge who leave 5 star reviews so be weary of true reviews. EQU is a larger scale nutrition/coaching company. This means, in my experience, it is extremely less personal because they’re focusing on numbers in the challenges = more money for them but and less quality program, advice & structure since there’s 1000s of people in the challenge at the same time. Having a smaller challenge or 1:2 coach although more money means more quality. A coach would have listened to my feedback and saw that my plan given was incorrect and I would not be in this position, unable to feed my breastfeed my baby.

I’m new to Equ and one month in, I love it! The meals are great for the whole family, delicious and filling. I find it so easy to make adjustments if needed.

feel indulgent but still fit into my calorie goal!! I also love that I don’t need to think about what I need to eat each week and whether I can fit something into my daily calorie target as Equ has figured it all out for me :)
I'm loving EQU! As a 50 year old female with two health related science degrees I know what's "good" for me however using EQU is a game changer in the sense that's there's no guesswork, the macros are done for you and very little planning needed. The meals are family friendly, filling and we're all really enjoying the food. Show details

Equ was the catalyst for me to get back to a healthier version of myself. Within a year I lost 20kg and have now been able to sustain my current weight following the maintenance program. I love the flexibility with being able to swap meals and the app is easy to use. I would definitely recommend Equ! - Laura H Show details
I love the equ app. It plans your meals and snacks for the week based on how many you want and takes the stress out of what to cook whilst slowly losing weight. The options are pretty good too. I love that you can also add your daily coffee into your meal plan. Highly recommend. The only thing that could improve (and it’s very minor) is adding… Read more
items to the grocery list. You have to go through each day and meal separately to add to the grocery list and sometimes it shows duplicate items.
I had tried out the 7 days free to have a look and take time to look at the equ app and see what it had to offer. And I can say that I was surprised how amazing it was. It’s Australian so anything you need is easy to get your hands on and the layout is good not overwhelming at all which I loved. I did happen to try out two of the meals and wow so tasty and easy. Will definitely sign up to use the app.
I highly recommend equ, I have lost 3kg in 4 weeks and it has really helped with getting my eating habits back on track which is something I have always struggled with. Pippa.B
Equ has changed my lifestyle completely. Given me a healthy relationship with food, and better habit choices! Easy meal plans to follow without lacking in flavour. Being able to enjoy all the foods you love without any restriction while hitting all your macros, targets & goals. After 20 weeks with equ I am 15kgs down, 98cm gone all around my body.. What more could you want for a healthy weight loss journey!!! Show details
Equ has honestly made meal planning for myself and my family an absolute breeze. The generated meal plans are aligned to my weightloss goals but the app also provides the flexibility to select other meals with similar macros so you don’t have to eat the same thing if you don’t want to! The meal scan addition when you’re out for dinner too I find… Read more
helpful as it allows me to make more informed decisions and keeps me accountable when I’m out. You can also track all your progress too. So for me this program works as a mum of two and employed full time!
Amazing, easy and very customisable to your likings and goals. The meals are easy, quick, cheap, family friendly and I haven't found a meal i/we dont like. . Takes the guess work out of your daily macros. Love the swap option of meals and the overall accountability. Ive tried lots of programs but this is by far the best! Show details
My Way of thinking about how to eat has totally changed! I used to think eating only 1200 cal was what I needed to lose weight and now I’m eating between 1700 and 1800 also the different foods I get to eat, I’m not missing out on anything. Equ has definitely changed my life for the better. Trish M. Show details
