What is the Calorie Planner?
The Calorie Planner is a tool that allows you to adjust your daily macro/calorie targets within your week when unforeseen things come up, to plan ahead for a special event, or to align with your specific training schedule. Why is this helpful? Staying on track for weekly target averages is just as effective as staying on track from day to day!
Where to find the Calorie Planner
The Calorie Planner is located on your diary tab. You will find a button labeled "Planner,” and if you have adjusted it, you will see a +/- with a percentage next to it to note how far above or below your daily average target you are on that day.
How to use the Calorie Planner
By default, the Calorie Planner will start all 7 days with the same macro targets.
Once in the planner, you will see a "bar" for each day of the week showing your macro targets for that day. We recommend that as each day of the week passes, you lock that day in the planner so that you don't accidentally adjust a day that has already passed. Be sure to hit save after making any adjustment to lock them in.
Select the day you want to adjust by tapping on the bar.
Lock the days you don't want to change.
Keep the days you want to change unlocked.
Use the input box or slider to set the calories you consumed or plan to consume.
The calorie planner will distribute the calories evenly across all unlocked days.
Additionally, users can tap the "Planner settings" and select your Start day to align with your check-in day (found under Settings>Coach Settings>Check in day).
Additional details
The planner keeps your +/- preferences week to week.
Users can keep any adjustments made to their week, or they can tap the "Planner settings" and set the app to reset their Calorie Planner after each check-in.
The planner will display a + or - % amount (see +6% in previous image) that identifies how far over (+) or under (-) your daily average the planner has been adjusted for that day.
Now it's time to enjoy the freedom of flexible dieting and in-week adjustments with the Calorie Planner!
