  It started out as Swole.me (http://www.swole.me http://www.swole.me) a little over two years ago, and then I rebranded it once the algorithm was good enough to suggest things a normal, well adjusted person might eat (as opposed to a meal of 2 tbsp peanut butter + 1 chicken breast). My guess is that the idea and execution was novel enough to get it a decent amount of attention.

    I had checked out Swole.me a couple months ago when I was looking to start lifting again and was looking for a way to get eating suggestions/tracking. I found your site and it was really really awesome back then, I was impressed! I'm glad to see you're still working on it. I think you're hitting on something really valuable here. Thank you for your work and good luck with it moving forward.

    Wow, I was just thinking about swole.me the other day while I was mirin my gainz at the gym. Cool to see it become something more!

      Going to the gym and running into buff dudes who were talking about swole.me was one of my proudest moments.

    Nice pivot. I had the same idea myself about two years ago, and saw swole.me but thought it looked way to focussed on weight training users for a general audience. This looks much more widely useful.
