Hi, I’m Corey
I’m a software engineer, and I built Let's Get Hot on my own. It came out of a gap I kept running into: knowing roughly what you should be eating and how you should be training is the easy part. Turning that into an actual week is the work. Meals that fit a budget, workouts that respect what your body can handle, and a grocery list that doesn’t mean three separate trips.
So I built the thing I wanted. Answer a handful of questions once, and it quietly handles the planning every week after that.

Some of these cost more to build than the alternative. They’re the reason the app exists.
Buttons, not prompts
You should never have to prompt your way to dinner. Answer a few questions once, and the week arrives finished. The AI works in the background and hands you buttons. When you do want to ask something, Ember is one tap away rather than the way in.
Safety isn’t left to the AI
Allergies, dietary restrictions, injuries and the equipment you have are checked on every recipe and every workout we plan, before you see it. The AI proposes; the checks decide.
Priced before you shop
Meals are planned as a week, not one at a time, so ingredients get reused, and the grocery list is priced at Kroger against the number you set.
No ads, nothing sold
We count page views and how fast pages load, without cookies, and that is the whole of it. No advertising pixels, no cross-site tracking, no selling data. Your health information is yours, and we never hand the AI your name or account details ourselves.
Being straight with you
Let's Get Hot is a planning tool, not a dietitian, trainer, or doctor. Calorie targets and timelines are estimates from formulas and AI, useful for direction rather than diagnosis. The dish photos are AI-generated and labelled as such. Allergies and injuries are checked on every plan, and you should still read the labels on the food you buy.
Meal and training plans are a subscription because generating them costs real money. AI, hosting, and a database all have a bill attached, and I’d rather charge a few dollars than sell your data. The social side costs almost nothing to run, so challenges, friends, the feed, and badges are free and stay free. The planning gets a free trial, no card required, and you cancel wherever you subscribed.
