Set up in a few minutes
When you create an account, Bene asks a few questions, one per screen: your sex, date of birth, height and weight, then whether you want to lose, maintain or gain. If you're changing weight, you'll pick a target and a pace.
Next come your activity level and diet style. Bene uses all of this to work out your daily recommendation: calories plus protein, carbs and fat.
Good to know
- Every answer can be changed later in Profile, and your targets can be recalculated at any time in Profile → Goals → Your plan.
The optional steps
You can add a weekly training schedule (which days you train, and what), connect Apple Health so workouts from your watch arrive on their own, and turn on notifications. Each step can be skipped and set up later.
Home, Progress and Coach
Home is your day: calories and macros at the top, a note from Coach, then everything you've logged in time order.
Progress shows how you're trending: workouts, calories, weight pace and habits, each opening a fuller dashboard.
Coach is a chat that answers from your own logs.
Your profile
Tap your avatar in the top-right corner of Home. Profile holds your details, Goals → Your plan, Training → Weekly schedule, Connected sources, what Coach remembers, Support → Send feedback, and Account settings for notifications, preferences (units, theme, rest timer), signing out and deleting your account.
Your first week
Log food and training as you go, and weigh in most mornings. Bene gets more useful as your history grows: your weight trend settles, Progress fills in, and Coach has more to go on.
Good to know
- Consistency beats precision. A roughly logged meal is more useful than a skipped one.
