Streaks
When you enter your food diary page, at the top you’ll find your food diary streaks identified with the 🔥 emoji.
These streaks, if you have a meal plan, refer to full days logged. If you don’t yet have a meal plan, they refer to having logged at least one entry. You always have 24 hours to log your food diary sequence. If you forget to log your meals for more than 24 hours, your streak will be interrupted.
At the top, you’ll see your current streak with the 🔥 emoji. Then, in each month, you can track the number of days that month with your longest streak.
Patients with a Meal Plan
Food diary
On this new page, you’ll be able to see your meal plan goals regarding the daily energy, protein, carbohydrates, and fat you should consume. As you log your meals, the bars will fill up.
The central chart includes a legend showing whether you still need calories to reach your goal, if you are within the goal, or slightly above it:
Still on track: energy between 0 to 10% above
A little over the goal: between 10 to 40% above
Over the goal: more than 40% above
(This information does not appear for patients who don’t have access to nutritional information — functionality blocked by the professional.)
Below, you’ll find all the meals from your meal plan and, when you click, you’ll see all logging options. Each meal displays the meal time and calorie goal. You can add a photo by tapping the illustrative image.
The buttons shown for meal logging work as follows:
Skipped: you skipped this meal without eating any foods from the meal plan.
Edit: you can edit your meal, remove, add or swap foods.
As planned: you completed the meal exactly as indicated in the meal plan.
Your professional will see all your logs and, if they leave a “like,” a heart will appear next to the meal photo.
When you click the meal name, you will be taken to the meal page with all foods and details. There, you can log your meal with everything you ate, whether from the meal plan or with modifications.
Meal page
On the meal page, you'll see all the foods that make up that meal as well as equivalents (if available), all nutritional information, and the meal photo (if added). Here you can add other foods you ate (using the + icon), log changes, and leave comments.
The top of this page is focused on the image or photo of the meal and the nutritional information. Below, you’ll find the meal name and time (editable), and you can add comments (message icon) and foods (+ icon).
The camera icon next to the image opens the option to take a photo with your camera or import from your gallery. If, after adding the photo, you tap the icon again, you’ll have the same options plus the option to delete the photo. To view the photo full screen, just tap the picture.
When tapping the comments button, a field will appear where you can write anything you wish and save it.
Next, you’ll see the list of foods that make up the meal. This list expands if equivalents exist. Equivalents are shown in a list for easier and quicker reading.
After logging your meal, a tag will help you understand how your day is going. The tags are:
Skipped: you skipped the meal or removed all recommended foods.
Logged (grey): log only with a photo (no foods are logged).
Far from goal: you logged foods different from your plan. You are considered far from the goal when you are at least 10% above or below the goal in two macronutrients (e.g.: 10% below the protein goal and 11% below the fat goal).
As planned: you completed the meal as indicated in the plan or made changes but remained within the goal. You are not more than 10% above or below two of the macronutrients.
For patients without access to nutritional information:
Only an indication of whether the meal was registered or not will appear.
Meals completed as planned or edited will simply appear as “logged.”
If you didn’t eat any of the foods from that meal, you can tap the “I didn’t eat these foods” button at the bottom of the page. This button will delete all the foods of that meal. If you tapped it by mistake, you’ll have a button to restore the meal.
If the meal was completed as planned, a “as planned” button will appear at the bottom, which you can tap to complete the meal log. If you made any changes to a food, the button will display “Save” instead.
If you had an extra meal and log it, since it wasn’t planned by the professional and doesn’t have predefined nutritional goals, you won’t see goal data.
Patients without a Meal Plan
If you don’t have a meal plan, you will still see your streaks. In the calendar, you can scroll back and see previous logs.
When you tap the button to add a meal, you only need to choose the meal and log what you ate.
Since you don’t have a meal plan, after logging a single meal, you’ll already see a checkmark on the calendar for the current day, as your daily log is considered complete with just one entry.
Below, you will see the details of the logged meal (meal name, photo and time).
As there is no plan or goals to follow, the page will look the same, but the nutritional information will only display what you added and no goals.
