Heart & Core starts with a simpler question: What can I do with what I already have?
From there, the experience helps organize pantry items, surface practical meal ideas, identify foods to use soon, explain nutrition considerations in plain language, plan the week, and make shopping more intentional. The goal is decision support—not judgment, perfection, or food shaming.
Why Heart & Core
Before features and screens, there is a reason for building Heart & Core. This short film is the human side of the project—the part that explains why making healthier everyday choices easier actually matters.

Founder story
Heart & Core began with food, but the reason behind it reaches further. Walter Green III shares the personal story behind the project—health, family, everyday life, and wanting to keep showing up for the people who matter most.
See it in action
This walkthrough was recorded during private beta and shows how the core pantry, meal, planning, and shopping workflow fits together. Version 1.0 has continued to refine the experience, so some screens may look different today.
One connected workflow
Heart & Core is built around the decisions people make every day, not a collection of disconnected wellness features.
Organize pantry items so everyday ingredients are easier to find, review, and put to use.
Use pantry-aware suggestions that prioritize better-supported foods and can raise foods you have explicitly marked to use soon.
Turn individual ideas into a more connected breakfast, lunch, and dinner plan.
Carry missing ingredients into a clearer shopping flow instead of starting from a blank list.
See nutrition and ingredient considerations in plain language. Missing information stays unknown or review-first instead of being invented or treated as a positive signal.
Heart-conscious guidance should be useful, respectful, and non-shaming—not another scorecard for being “good” or “bad.”
All Heart & Core plans begin with a 7-day free trial. Payment details are collected at checkout. Cancel during the trial and you will not be charged.

Heart & Core is designed to help with decisions before and around the meal—not to make food logging the center of everyday life.
MyFitnessPal is a nutrition-tracking platform built around a food diary, calories and macros, activity and weight tracking, with newer coaching and meal-planning tools. Heart & Core starts from a different place: What do I already have, and what would help me decide what to make or buy next?
Heart & Core is pantry-first decision support. It uses the foods you already have, foods you want to use soon, nutrition context, personal food rules, meal ideas, and shopping planning to help you make a choice before the meal happens. Nutrition information is part of the experience, but logging calories does not have to be the center of it.
If a food may be higher in sodium, saturated fat, added sugar, highly processed, or otherwise less supportive of your preferences, Heart & Core explains the consideration and can point to alternatives—including foods already in your pantry. It does not forbid the food or make the decision for you.
MyFitnessPal is built around tracking what you eat. Heart & Core is built around helping you decide what to do with what you have.
No. Heart & Core can explain why a food may deserve attention, show the nutrition or ingredient information it can confirm, and surface alternatives that may better support your goals.
Cautioned foods stay in your pantry. Heart & Core may leave them out of meal ideas by default, but you can deliberately include them when you choose.
You make the decision. Heart & Core helps you make it informed.
Create an account, choose the plan that fits you, and use Heart & Core naturally to organize your pantry, plan meals, shop with more intention, and make informed food decisions.
Add pantry items manually or by barcode so Heart & Core can work from your real kitchen.
Choose dietary preferences, food rules, and nutrition targets that matter to you. Heart & Core applies the choices you make; it does not prescribe them.
Build meal ideas and weekly plans from your pantry, then carry missing ingredients into a clearer shopping workflow.
Heart & Core provides general wellness and food information. It does not make medical decisions or replace professional healthcare advice.
Important information
Heart & Core is designed for general wellness, meal planning, and convenience. It does not provide medical or dietary advice and is not a substitute for care from a qualified healthcare professional.
Nutrition information may come from product labels, third-party food databases, user-entered information, or estimates. Review important information before relying on it, particularly when managing allergies, medical conditions, prescribed diets, or other health needs.
Always follow guidance from your physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional when making decisions related to a medical condition.
