Food logging and weight trends
Work through a meal estimate, a scale change, or the assumptions behind a target.
Why did my scale weight change?
Move a fictional reading, switch kg/lb, and compare a daily jump with a seven-day moving average. See how the demo differs from the app’s coaching trend.
Explore weight trends and daily readingsHow do calorie targets adapt?
Compare on-pace, slower, faster, and incomplete-log cases. The model shows its arithmetic and limits; it does not prescribe your target.
Try the adaptive calorie target examplesHow precise does a macro log need to be?
Change portions and macro mix in a fictional food log. Compare an estimated meal with an unlogged meal.
