Maintenance is a moving target
"Eat at your expenditure" sounds simple, but expenditure is an estimate and life is noisy — tiny errors compound, and six months later you've drifted a few kilos without ever "going off plan." A maintenance goal in Gravl Macros corrects for that drift automatically.
How it works
While your trend weight sits within a narrow band around your target weight, your calories simply track your adaptive expenditure — pure maintenance, no adjustment.
When the trend drifts outside the band, a small daily corrective adjustment appears, scaled to your body weight, pointed back toward your target. It's gentle by design: enough to reverse a slow drift over weeks, never a crash correction. Once the trend is back inside the band, the correction disappears.
Where you see it
The maintenance status card shows which side of the band you're on and whether a correction is active, and your weekly check-in folds the same logic into its suggestions. Nothing changes without the usual ritual — you still apply or keep targets yourself.
What it needs
The same two habits as everything else: logged days and regular weigh-ins. Maintenance mode leans entirely on your trend weight, so the more consistently you weigh in, the earlier a drift is caught — when the correction is still tiny.
