The MUNCH+ Performance Center is the paid planning area inside the free MUNCH app. For £1.99 per month, users can complete the performance assessment, review suitable diet and workout systems, generate a structured plan and monitor progress. The available systems include El Taybat, High Protein Low Carb, High Carb High Protein, High Intensity Training, Calisthenics and Hybrid Training.
It is designed for organisation and consistency, not diagnosis or emergency medical care. Specialist consultations are booked separately and are not included in the £1.99 MUNCH+ Performance Center subscription.
Key takeaways
- The free MUNCH app and the paid Performance Center are different: downloading the app does not automatically start MUNCH+.
- The assessment helps organise goals, experience and preferences before a plan is selected.
- Diet and workout systems have separate purposes; the best combination depends on the user’s goal and routine.
- Plan previews should be reviewed before committing to a system that does not fit available time, equipment or food preferences.
- Progress tracking is useful when it records consistency and performance trends, not only a single scale number.
Who this is for
The Performance Center is most useful for someone who wants a defined system and a place to review it. It is not a replacement for medical assessment or a promise of a specific body transformation.
- Users who want diet and workout planning in the same app.
- People who prefer a structured system over choosing random meals and exercises each day.
- Beginners who need assessment questions and a clearer starting direction.
- More experienced users who want a consistent plan, progress records and a simple review routine.
- Anyone with symptoms, injuries or medical conditions requiring diagnosis or clinical treatment.
- People expecting a guaranteed weight-loss, muscle-gain or performance result.
- Users unwilling to provide honest assessment information or follow the plan consistently.
- Anyone who needs live specialist supervision included in the £1.99 subscription.

How the MUNCH+ Performance Center works
The system follows a sequence: assess, compare, select, generate, follow and review.
A personalised plan is only useful when the inputs reflect the user’s real situation. The Performance Center begins with an assessment covering goals, training context and relevant preferences. Honest answers matter more than choosing the answer that sounds most ambitious. An unrealistic training frequency or inaccurate experience level produces a plan that is harder to follow.
After the assessment, users can explore the available diet and workout systems. Each system has a different purpose. El Taybat focuses on a structured healing-reset style of eating; High Protein Low Carb prioritises protein with controlled carbohydrate choices; High Carb High Protein supports higher training demand. The workout side separates gym-focused high-intensity training, bodyweight calisthenics and a hybrid system combining weights with calisthenics.
- 1
Complete the assessment honestly
Use your current goal, experience, available equipment and realistic schedule—not the routine you hope to have in an ideal week.
- 2
Review the system choices
Read the purpose of each diet and workout system and exclude options that conflict with your needs, symptoms or available setup.
- 3
Preview the direction
Check whether the proposed structure matches the number of sessions, meal style and level of commitment you can sustain.
- 4
Generate and open the plan
Confirm the selected system so the plan becomes available inside the Performance Center and MUNCH Manager workflow.
- 5
Record completion and useful feedback
Track meals, sessions, energy, recovery and progress patterns instead of judging the plan from one difficult day.
The three MUNCH+ diet systems compared
The systems are not interchangeable labels; each one organises meals around a different priority.
El Taybat, High Protein Low Carb and High Carb High Protein should not compete for the same search intent or the same user. The system names describe the plan direction, while the assessment and generated plan determine the actual meal structure. A user should not choose only because one title sounds stricter or more advanced.
People with digestive symptoms, food intolerance concerns, diagnosed conditions or a history of disordered eating should not use a general app article to self-diagnose or perform an extreme elimination diet. The relevant system page explains the intended structure and its boundaries, while qualified medical or dietetic support remains the correct route for clinical problems.
| Diet system | Primary planning focus | May suit | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Taybat / Healing Reset | A simplified, structured food routine with a digestive-comfort focus | Users who want a disciplined reset-style framework | Not a diagnosis, cure or universal treatment for digestive symptoms |
| High Protein Low Carb | Protein-first meals with controlled carbohydrate portions | Users prioritising lean-mass support and a lower-carb structure | Low carb does not mean zero carb or unlimited protein |
| High Carb High Protein | Protein plus greater carbohydrate support around demanding training | Users with higher training volume or mass-gain goals | Higher carbs still require suitable portions and overall consistency |
The three MUNCH+ workout systems compared
Choose according to training environment, skill priority and recovery—not which title sounds hardest.
High Intensity Training is the gym-focused system. Calisthenics builds bodyweight strength, control and progressions. Hybrid Training combines weights and calisthenics so the user can develop external-load strength while continuing bodyweight skills. All three require progressive work and recovery; none should be treated as a collection of random hard sessions.
Equipment and schedule should narrow the decision. A user with reliable gym access and a strength-focused goal may prefer the high-intensity gym system. Someone training at home or prioritising body control may prefer calisthenics. A user who genuinely wants both—and has enough weekly capacity—may select hybrid training.
| Workout system | Main environment | Best-known focus | Common selection mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Intensity Training | Gym and resistance equipment | Focused strength and performance sessions | Choosing intensity before building technique and recovery capacity |
| Calisthenics Training | Bodyweight setup, bars or minimal equipment | Control, relative strength and skill progressions | Skipping easier progressions because advanced skills look more impressive |
| Hybrid Training | Gym plus calisthenics equipment | Weights and bodyweight skills in one programme | Adding the full volume of two programmes instead of integrating them |
Why the assessment matters more than choosing the most popular plan
Personalisation begins by removing unsuitable options and setting realistic inputs.
A good assessment does not make every user feel advanced; it makes the resulting plan more usable. Training experience influences exercise complexity and starting volume. Available equipment determines which movements can be performed. Schedule determines how many sessions can be repeated consistently. Food preferences and restrictions determine whether the diet structure is practical.
The assessment is also a moment to recognise limits. Pain, fainting, unexplained symptoms, pregnancy, diagnosed conditions or a history that affects eating or exercise may require qualified advice before starting. An app can organise information and routines, but it cannot safely replace the professional who can examine the individual.
- Goal: fat loss, performance, muscle gain, general routine or another defined priority.
- Experience: actual training history and confidence with technique.
- Availability: realistic days, session duration and meal-preparation time.
- Environment: gym equipment, home setup, bars or limited space.
- Preferences and restrictions: suitable foods, exclusions and practical cooking limits.

Common mistakes to avoid
Choosing a plan name because it sounds strict or advanced without checking whether it matches the goal and routine.
Entering an unrealistic training frequency or experience level during the assessment.
Treating the generated plan as medical diagnosis, injury rehabilitation or a guaranteed outcome.
Changing systems after one difficult day instead of reviewing a meaningful pattern.
Assuming the £1.99 subscription includes separate specialist consultations.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the MUNCH+ Performance Center?
The current MUNCH+ Performance Center price is £1.99 per month, while the MUNCH app itself is free to download. Check the current checkout or store information before subscribing because pricing and availability can change. Specialist consultations are separate bookings and are not included in the £1.99 subscription.
What diet plans are included in MUNCH+?
The Performance Center includes three diet-system directions: El Taybat, also described in the app as Healing Reset; High Protein Low Carb; and High Carb High Protein. The assessment and generated plan determine the practical structure. These systems provide general planning support and should not be treated as medical treatment.
What workout plans are included in MUNCH+?
The three workout directions are High Intensity Training for gym-based performance, Calisthenics Training for bodyweight strength and progressions, and Hybrid Training combining weights with calisthenics. The best choice depends on equipment, experience, goal, available time and recovery rather than which system appears most difficult.
Does MUNCH+ include consultations with specialists?
No. MUNCH+ unlocks the Performance Center planning experience, but specialist appointments in the Consultation Center are booked separately. Review the specialist profile, appointment details and current price before confirming. The separation allows users to subscribe to planning without assuming that professional appointments are part of the monthly fee.
