Micronutrients and Nutrient Goals

Beyond calories and macros — what else the app tracks, and how to set goals for it.

What gets tracked

Every diary entry tracks fiber, sugar, and sodium alongside its calories and macros. Foods with richer label data carry more: added sugar, the fat breakdown (saturated, trans, mono- and polyunsaturated), cholesterol, potassium, calcium, iron, vitamins A, C, and D, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.

A food's detail shows its full breakdown in a collapsible section. For your own custom foods it appears once you've entered micronutrient values — a blank there means "not entered," and the app is careful not to display absent data as zeros.

Your Insights turn all of it into trends: over twenty metrics, from calories down to zinc, each with its history over time.

Nutrient goals

Each tracked nutrient can carry a goal with up to three lines:

  • a floor — the minimum worth reaching (fiber, potassium…);
  • a target — the point to aim at;
  • a ceiling — the level to stay under (sodium, added sugar…).

Out of the box, goals run on Auto: sensible values derived from your profile — age and sex included — and your calorie target, updating as those change. Any nutrient can be switched to a custom goal with your own numbers (a dietitian's sodium cap, a deliberate fiber push), or to none if you'd rather not see it judged at all.

You'll find them in the nutrient goals screen; changes apply from today onward, and your history keeps the goals it was lived under.

An honest caveat

Micronutrient totals are only as complete as the labels behind your foods — a day of generic entries will understate zinc long before it understates calories. Treat micro trends as directional, and the label scanner as the way to make your staples precise.
