There are three ways to change your targets. All of them start from Account → Daily Targets, or from a chat with Cal.
Recalculate from your details
Use this when your weight, goal or routine has changed.
- Go to Account → Daily Targets and tap Calculate next to Nutrition goals.
- Update any of Current Weight, Target Weight, Goal, Plan Speed, Daily Activity Level and Workouts per Week. Gender, date of birth and height are under Personal Details.
- The new calorie and macro targets preview at the top as you go.
- Tap Finish & Save.
You need both a current and a target weight before you can save. If you changed your current weight, it is also saved as a new weigh-in. The calculation is the same one used at sign-up.
Type in your own numbers
- Go to Account → Daily Targets.
- Edit Calories, Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats. Macros are percentages of your calories, and the grams update as you type.
- Tap Save.
The three percentages must add up to 100%, or the app will not save them.
Ask Cal
You can say something like "set my calories to 1,900" or "make my protein 35%". Cal can also recalculate your targets for you, and turn Show net calories on or off.
What changes and what does not
- Your new targets apply straight away, including to the dials in Chat and the Diary tab.
- Earlier days in the Diary are also shown against your current targets.
- Food and exercise you have already logged are not changed.
- Recalculating replaces any numbers you typed in by hand.
If a coach manages your targets, they can change them too, so check with them before making big changes.
