Who better to try the 8fit’s fitness and nutrition plan app and share about it? We gave Anna full access to our app in exchange for her honest feedback. Read and watch how she used 8fit for workouts and meals throughout the day.

A typical day for Anna involves creating and producing content from her Brighton home. On this day in particular, she was off to a slower-than-usual start. But, thanks to the 8fit app, healthy breakfast was already planned.

Anna started her day with 8fit’s “Sweet Omelette” recipe with a bit of vanilla extract, maple syrup, yogurt, nuts and fruit.

After getting some important work done, it was time for lunch. On the menu this time was 8fit’s ”Avocado & Chicken with Bread.” To make this a little more exciting, Anna added some feta cheese and mint.

2. In a bowl, add the peeled avocado and the chopped cilantro and mash with a fork until well combined. Spread the mixture on the bread.
3. Serve the avocado on bread along with the chicken and enjoy!

After digesting lunch, it was time for a workout. Anna is no stranger to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), but there were a couple of moves she wasn’t familiar with. According to Anna, what’s great about the 8fit app is that you can preview each exercise move before starting the workout.

When dinner time rolled around, Anna and her husband cooked the “Fish with Spiced Lentils” recipe in the 8fit app. They added a side of broccoli to the dish. We approve of that vitamin C enriched, fiber-packed ingredient.

Anna loved that each 8fit recipe was customizable and that she could learn about the macros in each dish while she browsed. Plus, if she didn’t have an ingredient, each 8fit recipe offered replacement tips.
