Gems: what they are and how to earn them

Gems are Nutrola's in-app reward currency, shown on the Gems screen ("Earn gems for every healthy habit"). You earn them for everyday tracking, like logging your first meal, keeping your streak alive, and hitting your calorie goal, plus bonuses for streak milestones and learning-path classes. You spend gems on streak freezes and revives, not real money.

How do I earn gems?

Nutrola groups the ways to earn under "Earn every day" and "Streak milestones."

Every day, you can earn:

• Log your first meal of the day: 1 gem
• Keep your streak alive (logging a meal that day): 5 gems
• Hit your daily calorie goal: 3 gems

Each of these is awarded once per day. The calorie-goal reward fires the first time today's total crosses your goal, and you'll see a "Daily goal hit!" celebration.

Streak milestones grant a one-time bonus when you reach them:

• 7-day streak: 25 gems
• 30-day streak: 100 gems
• 100-day streak: 500 gems

Each milestone also grants a free streak freeze on top of the gems. Streak milestone rewards (7, 30, 100 days)

Do learning-path classes give gems?

Yes. Beyond daily tracking, Nutrola's learning path awards gems for completing a class, getting a perfect quiz score, finishing a whole section, and keeping a class streak going. Section completions give the largest class bonus. Why do I have two different streaks in Nutrola?

What do I spend gems on?

Under "Spend on," gems are used for two things that protect your streak:

• Snowflake (streak freeze): costs 100 gems, and you can hold up to 2 at a time. A snowflake automatically covers a missed day so your streak survives. Streak freezes (snowflakes): how they protect your streak
• Streak Revive: costs 125 gems and is only available when you missed just 1 or 2 days, to restore a broken streak. Reviving a streak after you lose it

Where do I see my gem balance?

Your gem balance and the full list of ways to earn and spend appear on the Gems screen in the app. Celebration pop-ups also show how many gems you just earned when you log a meal, hit your calorie goal, or reach a milestone.

Good to know

• Gems are an in-app reward for consistency. There is no way to buy gems with real money.
• Earning is tied to logging and your streak, so the more consistently you track, the faster gems add up. How streaks work
• Only meal logging counts toward your streak (and therefore the streak-based gem rewards). Do water and exercise logs count toward my streak?
