Your tracker counted the calories. It never mentioned the protein.
Photograph your plate and Kessa reads the protein back — against one daily number, worked out from your body rather than a generic chart. Built for women on GLP‑1 medications.
Six questions, about two minutes No card to see your number
Nobody warned you about the food part.
It comes with a dose schedule. It doesn’t come with a dinner plan. When appetite drops, protein is usually the first thing to go — a few bites can feel like a whole meal. And weight lost isn’t only fat. Some of it is lean mass. That’s true of weight loss generally, and it’s the part almost nobody is given a plan for.
Higher-protein eating isn’t right for everyone. If you have kidney concerns, check with your doctor first.
What you get
Point your camera at the plate. Get the protein back.
Photograph the meal and Kessa reads the protein out of it. Barcode and search are there too, because you don’t always log at the table.
A protein target built from your body.
Six questions: your height and weight, your age, whether you strength train, and how you’d describe your build. Kessa estimates your lean mass from those and sets the daily number from that, rather than from a chart. Two of the six are safety questions, and they can stop the number entirely.
A mode for the hard days.
Too queasy or too full to eat? Tap once and Kessa shifts — easy, high-protein options and zero guilt. No broken streaks, no red warnings. Being sick isn’t failing.
And the part that comes after.
Most of what you’ll read about this stops at the weight. Kessa keeps going. You pick the chapter you’re in — just getting started, finding your rhythm, in a steady place, or thinking about stopping — and the food and training guidance changes with it. Nothing about medication, and no clock: it only changes when you change it.
Six questions, about two minutes. No account, no card.
What do you eat when nothing sounds good?
It is the question that comes up over and over, and it rarely gets a straight answer. Kessa keeps a standing one: things that are cold, quick, or barely any chewing, with the protein already counted.
- Greek yogurt · 15 g
- Cottage cheese · 13 g
- Clear protein water · 15–20 g
- Silken tofu · 8 g
- Kefir · 10 g
- Bone broth · 9 g
Want the whole list?
Seventeen of them, with what makes each one easy. It opens on the next page — you won’t be waiting on an email.
We’ll write again when we build something someone asked for — not often, one tap to unsubscribe, and we don’t sell your data.
Made for women on this journey
Not a diet app with a women’s mode — Kessa is built, from the first question, for women on GLP‑1 medications.
And it stays between you and the app. No badges, no streak notifications, and nothing posted anywhere.
What Kessa won’t do
We are new, and you have no reason to take our word for anything. So here is what we refuse to do — all of it checkable in the two minutes it takes to run the setup.
We won’t give everyone a number
Two answers in the setup stop the number entirely. Tell us you have a kidney condition, or that you’re pregnant or nursing, and Kessa doesn’t hand you a protein target — it sends you to your doctor. An app that has a number for everybody isn’t being careful with you.
Don’t take our word for it. Open the setup, tick either one, and watch the number not arrive. It costs you two minutes and no email address.
We won’t grade your food
No good foods, no bad foods, no colours, no scores, no streak to break. Protein gets counted. Nothing gets judged, and nothing you eat is ever marked in red.
We won’t overrule you
A photo estimate is a starting point, not a verdict. Change the grams and the change is what sticks — the most common complaint about every other tracker is a correction that doesn’t hold, and we built around it.
We won’t sell you out
We don’t sell your data. There is no advertising in Kessa, no supplements to buy, and nothing to share to anywhere. Cancel in two taps from your settings, with no phone call and no retention agent.
And here’s what isn’t built yet
You’ll find these on other people’s pages. They’re not in Kessa today, and we would rather you heard it from us now than found it in week one.
- There is no community inside the app. It’s on the plan; it doesn’t exist yet.
- There are no workouts or strength sessions. Kessa does the nutrition part.
- There is no free trial. The annual plan has a thirty-day refund instead — use every part of it and still change your mind.
- There is no meal planner. Several people have asked; it isn’t built.
What is built is the protein part, and it is finished: the camera, the number, the logging, and the list for the days nothing sounds good. That is what you would be paying for.
How it works
Answer a few questions
Six of them, about two minutes. No account, no card.
See your number
Your daily protein target, worked out from your answers. This part is free.
Decide after that
Keeping the number, logging meals and the rest of Kessa is the part you subscribe to.
What Kessa costs
Kessa is $299 for the whole year — $24.92 a month — or $39.99 month to month. If you’re paying for the medication out of pocket, you already know what the hard part costs. This is the part that decides what the hard part was for, and it is a fraction of it. Your founding rate holds for as long as you stay a member.
Annual · Founding
$299 per year
Save 38% — that’s $24.92 a month
- Thirty-day money-back guarantee.
- Your founding rate is locked for as long as you stay a member.
- Renews at $299 per year until you cancel.
- Cancel anytime in two taps from your settings.
Monthly
$39.99 per month
- The smallest commitment we offer today.
- Renews monthly at $39.99 until you cancel.

Either plan starts the same way: six questions, your number, then you pick.
Thirty days to change your mind, on the annual plan.
Set your protein target and log your first few days. Email hello@kessahealth.com within 30 days of your purchase and we refund it in full. You don’t have to give a reason and you don’t have to prove anything. No form, no phone call, no retention agent. To be straight about the limit: the guarantee covers the annual plan. On monthly you can cancel anytime and it stops the next charge.
Both plans include everything. There is no upsell tier.
- Your own protein target, updated as things change
- Log a meal by photo, by barcode, or by typing it
- Easy protein for the days nothing sounds good
- Nutrition guidance for the chapter you pick — four of them, including one for coming off
Straight answers
Do I have to pay before I try it?
Not to get your number. The setup is open to anyone — you answer six questions and Kessa shows you your daily protein target before it asks for an email address, and long before it asks for a card.
Being straight about the rest: using Kessa day to day — logging meals, the photo reader, easy protein, the chapter guidance — is the subscription. There is no free trial. What there is instead: thirty days on the annual plan to use every part of it and get every dollar back if it isn’t for you. One email, no reason required.
Isn’t $299 a lot for an app?
It is more than a tracker costs, and if you’re comparing it to one, it will lose. The comparison we’d make is a dietitian — around $150 an hour, and most insurance won’t cover one. Kessa is $24.92 a month on the annual plan for the part of that conversation you actually needed, every day.
If that’s not the trade you want to make right now, the monthly plan is $39.99 and you can leave after one.
Is this another app I’ll abandon in three weeks?
Maybe — most people do, and it’s almost never about willpower. It’s that logging takes too long and the app keeps getting it wrong.
So: photograph the meals you already repeat, and after that they’re one tap. A correction you make once is the correction that sticks. And on the days you log nothing, there is no streak to break and no red screen waiting for you.
What if I’m not on a GLP‑1?
You can still use it, and the protein maths is the protein maths. But we’d rather be honest than take your money: the setup, the easy-protein list and the hard-days mode are all shaped around that specific experience. If that’s not your situation, a lot of what you’re paying for is aimed somewhere else.
Is Kessa a medical service?
No. Kessa provides general nutrition and wellness information — it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it never replaces guidance from your care team. It gives no guidance at all on medication or dosing.
The protein part, handled.
Six questions, about two minutes, and you’ll have your number. No card until you decide you want the rest.
