Bulking 77 to 90 kg in public · ★ 5.0 App Store · No ads · No account

I'm not a chef. I hate cooking, and I hate the grocery store.

So every meal here is built to cook as little as possible: one grocery list, one prep session, every meal decided.

I'm not a PT either.

So I don't write the training. It runs on published research, not my opinion.

Built for skinny guys with full-time jobs

Hitting your macros around a full-time job. Made easy.

01You're full with half the plate still to go.
04The shopping list, the macros, the prep order. A second job before any of it gets made.
02Not hungry, and the next meal's already due.
05No prep last night, so it's a bought lunch again today.
03Plain chicken and rice twice a day is a chore, not a meal.
06Every meal cooked from scratch, one at a time, all week.

Not more food. Denser food, with the shopping and prep already done.

The Meal Library

81 real meals, every step written.

Cooked on my own bulk. Every meal defaults to the fast version: jar sauce, real times. From scratch if you want it.

Ryan, founder of JSON.fit RN
Why I built this

I built JSON.fit because I'm the guy it's for.

I'm a skinny-by-default lifter who got sick of force-feeding myself and apps that assume cooking is my hobby. So I built what I needed: big meals with the steps done, macros handled, prep that fits around a full-time job.

I'm bulking to 90kg on it in the open, so I hit anything clunky first and fix it that week. No team, no investors, just me.

Free Training Programs

Eating big adds the weight.
Training makes it muscle.

Built the same way as the meals: your split, your equipment, up to a year long. Or import one of these, periodised and ready today.

What I'm running right now

The exact program I train on.

Four days a week, so three stay free. The trade: long, hard sessions at high volume. Side delts, lats, chest, biceps and glutes pushed hardest.

Awesome app, fitness plans

Created me a 12 week fitness plan for all my personal priorities. Was even able to add additional preferences via AI.

Replaced my $30/month PT app

Was paying for an AI trainer that was just GPT under the hood anyway. This app lets me use ChatGPT myself to build my program and just handles the tracking. Workouts are completely free too which I wasn't expecting.

FAQ

Common questions.

The meals are built dense, so a plate you can finish carries more calories and protein than a plate you can't. It doesn't make you hungrier. It makes every meal you do eat count for more.
Every meal defaults to the fast version: jar sauce, minimal steps, real times. Most of the week's food comes off one shop and a short prep session, not an afternoon.
That's exactly who it's built for. You answer a few questions once, import the plan, then cook in batches off a single grocery list. Most of the week's food gets handled in one prep session, so eating enough fits around work instead of taking it over.
Building or importing a plan takes a few minutes. After that it's one shop and one prep session for most of your meals, then quick logging as you go. The whole point is to hit your macros without bulking turning into a second job.
Three steps:
1. Answer a few quick questions.
2. Paste the prompt JSON.fit makes into any AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
3. Import the meal plan it builds and start tracking.

The same flow builds your training program too.
It's completely free. Workouts and nutrition are all free: meal plans, macro tracking, grocery lists, meal prep and pantry intelligence. No subscription, no paywall, no in-app purchases.
There isn't one. Most fitness apps charge $10–20/month because they run AI on their own servers. JSON.fit uses the AI you already have, so there are no server costs to pass on. There are no ads, and nothing is sold. Your workouts, meals and health data stay on your device, and like most apps and websites JSON.fit collects anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics to help improve it. The app is simply free.
Most AI chatbots have a free tier that works perfectly. ChatGPT, Gemini and others all offer free access. If you're already paying for a premium AI subscription, even better. Either way, JSON.fit itself has no AI costs to pass on to you.
Any AI that can generate structured text, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. You're not locked into one provider. Use whatever you prefer.
Yes. Your workouts, meals and health data stay on your device and are never uploaded. JSON.fit has no accounts and doesn't collect personal information. Like most apps and websites, it uses anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics (such as Google Analytics) to see how it's used and improve it. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
