Switch between Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fats. A day can be green for calories and yellow for protein, which tells you what to change.

Workouts count

If you logged a workout, the calories you burned are added to that day's target before the color is chosen.

What to look for

  • Red every Saturday? Plan your weekends ahead.
  • Yellow protein most days? Add protein at breakfast.
  • Lots of yellow calories? Check that you are logging everything, including drinks.

Reviews of weight-loss research consistently link regular self-monitoring with better results. The calendar makes that review take seconds.
