Abstract: The $f(R)$ gravity models formulated in the Einstein conformal frame are equivalent to Einstein gravity together with a minimally coupled scalar field. The scalar field couples with the matter sector and the coupling term is given by the conformal factor. We use this interacting model to derive a necessary condition for alleviating the coincidence problem.
