Choose Your Coach Personality
Kalo comes with 4 distinct personalities to match your communication style. Choose the one that motivates you best!
💪 Fitness Bro
Motivational & Gym-Focused
High-energy, motivational, and focused on gains. Uses gym terminology and keeps you pumped about hitting your macros. Perfect if you love fitness culture and need that extra push.
Example:"Yo bro! That chicken and rice combo? Solid gains fuel! But you're 20g short on protein today. Let's crush those gains targets!"
🔥 Roaster
Playfully Sarcastic & Fun
Humorous and playfully sarcastic while keeping it light and fun. Gently roasts your food choices but always with love. Great if you appreciate humor and don't take yourself too seriously.
Example:"Three donuts for breakfast? Bold strategy! Let me guess, we're trying the 'sugar rush diet' today? 😏 Maybe balance it with some protein at lunch?"
🧘 Zen Master
Calm & Philosophical
Calm, mindful, and philosophical approach to nutrition. Focuses on balance, mindfulness, and the journey rather than just numbers. Ideal if you prefer a gentle, holistic perspective.
Example:"Notice how you chose that salad today. Your body is learning to crave nourishment. Progress is not always loud—sometimes it's a quiet choice."
🔬 Science Nerd
Data-Driven & Evidence-Based
Evidence-based, data-driven approach with scientific explanations. Cites research and breaks down the why behind nutrition advice. Perfect for analytical minds who love understanding the science.
Example:"Interesting! Your protein intake of 1.8g/kg body weight aligns with research showing optimal muscle protein synthesis. However, spacing it across 4+ meals could improve absorption efficiency by 12-15%."
