MakeWeight - Wrestling Cut

MakeWeight is the first weight management app built for wrestlers — high school to college. Set your weight class, enter your competition date, and get a science-backed plan to make weight without wrecking your body or your performance.

Every recommendation is grounded in high school (NFHS) and college (NCAA) weight management rules and peer-reviewed sports nutrition research. It is a purpose-built tool for the unique demands of cutting weight for competition.

SMART WEIGHT DESCENT PLANNING
Enter your target weight class and competition date. MakeWeight generates a personalized glideslope — a week-by-week descent plan that enforces the NFHS and NCAA 1.5% maximum weekly weight loss rule. Track daily weigh-ins and watch your trajectory adjust in real time.

AI COACHING POWERED BY CLAUDE
Ask your AI coach anything about cutting weight, meal timing, hydration, recovery, or competition-day strategy. The coach is trained on sports nutrition science and wrestling-specific weight management protocols. It remembers your history, understands your competition schedule, and adapts advice to your current cutting phase — whether you are in baseline, glycogen depletion, water manipulation, low-residue, or recovery.

NFHS & NCAA COMPLIANT PROTOCOLS
MakeWeight enforces official wrestling weight management rules for both high school (NFHS) and college (NCAA):
- Minimum Wrestling Weight (MWW) calculation for males and females
- Hydration testing thresholds (NFHS and NCAA urine specific gravity standards)
- 1.5% maximum weekly weight loss enforcement
- Alpha weight tracking
- 20-week glideslope planning with MWW floor

If a target is unsafe, MakeWeight will tell you. The app is designed to prevent dangerous weight cutting practices, not enable them.

LOG FOOD IN SECONDS
Tell your coach what you ate and it's logged, with one tap to change it. Or snap your plate, scan a barcode, or search — foods that clash with your cutting phase get flagged.

PERSONALIZED MEAL PLANS
AI-generated meal plans tailored to your weight class, training load, food preferences, and cutting phase. Each plan comes with grocery lists, meal timing recommendations, and competition-day nutrition protocols so you show up fueled and ready.

SCIENCE-BACKED RECOVERY
Post-weigh-in recovery protocols built on the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) 2025 Position Stand. Timed rehydration steps, electrolyte repletion schedules, and carbohydrate reload plans, available on your phone minutes after you step off the scale.

BODY COMPOSITION TRACKING
Multiple body fat estimation methods including Navy formula, BMI-based, and skinfold calculations. Track lean body mass trends over time and see exactly where your minimum wrestling weight sits.

SUPPLEMENT MANAGEMENT
Evidence-based supplement catalog with ISSN-backed dosing recommendations, phase-specific warnings, and washout alerts. Know what is safe, what is effective, and what to avoid during each stage of your cut.

APPLE WATCH COMPANION
Log weigh-ins, track hydration, and monitor daily progress from your wrist. Complications keep your weight-to-target gap visible throughout the day. Widgets on your home screen and lock screen surface what matters most.

BUILT FOR SAFETY
Every feature in MakeWeight is designed with athlete safety as the first priority. Safety alerts trigger when weight loss exceeds safe thresholds. Calorie floors prevent dangerously low intake. All protocols reference 40+ peer-reviewed research papers. MakeWeight exists to help wrestlers compete at their best weight class through smart planning — not crash dieting.

MakeWeight is not medical advice. Always consult your physician, athletic trainer, or team nutritionist before beginning any weight management program.

Running your cut requires a subscription — free trial included. Your minimum weight, target and countdown are free.
