Clients can calculate their calorie and macro targets without leaving the app and without messaging you for a number.
Note that you as a Coach decide who gets the calculator at all.
How the Calculation works
In the app, go to the Food section. Have the client scroll down and open Calculate My Needs, where they will complete a four-step process.
Before anything is saved, Step 4 displays their calculated results so they can review everything and make any adjustments if needed:
Daily energy intake (kcal), with their estimated daily energy expenditure shown underneath so any deficit or surplus is clearly visible
Protein, carbohydrates, and fat targets in grams
The option to adjust their targets
A Save My Targets button to confirm the changes
Nothing is saved to the client's profile until they tap Save My Targets. This gives them the opportunity to review and adjust their targets before committing any changes.
Their Meal Split Stays the Same
The calculator updates the client's daily calorie target, which their meal plans will follow. It does not change how they have chosen to split those calories across their meals throughout the day.
Controlling Access
You decide whether clients can use the calculator from the Nutrition settings. Go to: Client --> Settings --> Nutrition --> Calorie calculator
Hidden Nutrition Info Is Respected
If you have chosen to hide nutrition information from a client, the calculator honors that. It will not surface numbers you have deliberately kept off their screen.
