We primarily believe that the overall calorie target is what matters most and users can choose to distribute the calories between the macros however they like. We would recommend choosing a protein target based on your training goals and then distributing the remaining calories between carbohydrates and fat.
Bodyweight is reported in kilograms while food units are in grams. We are working to make the application work with imperial units in the future.
A common food is a food that was logged using our 3rd-party database (Food Data Central). A created food is a food that a user has added to the program and is unique to themselves.
We keep a moving average of the weights you enter so that day-to-day fluctuations in your weight do not affect the program as much and to reduce the random error in your scale.
No, the recommendations are memoryless, if you missed your targets last week, we do not adjust this week. Maybe, but for right now we think weekly weight change targets are the way to go. If the program has more than 3 weight logs and 19 logged days in the last 3 weeks then it will calculate your energy expenditure, otherwise it will fall back to the value provided in Profile
