Frequently asked questions

What is Bud?

Bud is a holistic wellness coach you use entirely inside WhatsApp - no app to download. Send a photo of a meal or just say what you ate, and Bud logs the calories and protein, matches you with dietitians, nutritionists and fitness trainers, finds healthy food and fitness options near you, syncs your activity from Strava, and orders the groceries you need. It supports GLP-1 programs too.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Bud works entirely over WhatsApp - just message the number and that's it.

Is Bud free?

Bud is free to start with. Some features are part of Bud Plus, a paid monthly plan - Bud tells you the price in the chat before you pay anything, and you can cancel anytime.

Does Bud work for people on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Yes. Bud sizes food suggestions for a smaller appetite and can remind you when your next dose is due. It's not medical advice - talk to your doctor about your treatment.

How does Bud work out my calorie and protein targets?

From your age, sex, height, weight, how active you are and your goal, using ICMR-NIN's 2020 method for Indians and WHO's limits for fat and fibre. The full method, every source and a calculator are on our blog.
