Where the suggestion comes from
The proposed targets are your plan run against reality: your current adaptive expenditure and your current weight, with the deficit or surplus your chosen pace implies. Same goal, fresher numbers.
Two principles shape it:
- No punishment math. The deficit always comes from your plan's pace — never from "you're behind, so eat less to catch up." A slow week doesn't buy you a harsher target.
- No whiplash. Suggested changes are deliberately dampened: the new calories move you partway toward what the math says, not all the way in one jump. Small consistent corrections beat big swings — and if the evidence persists, next week's check-in continues the move. Protein is the exception: it stays pinned to your lean mass and isn't dampened.
Apply New Targets
Applying writes the new calories and macros to your plan from today forward. Days already behind you keep the targets they had — your history stays honest about what you were aiming for at the time. Every check-in, applied or not, is kept in your check-in history.
Applying is disabled in two situations: the week didn't meet the data minimum, or your expenditure is currently paused — in both, there's no solid basis to adjust from, so the button waits.
Keep Current Targets
Skipping is a first-class choice, not a failure state. The check-in is recorded, nothing changes, and next week's check-in arrives on schedule. If the same evidence is still there, so will the suggestion be.
