Q: What’s a Smart Weight Target, and how is it different?
Hoot’s Smart Weight Target is a personalized calorie and macro plan based on your unique profile—not some generic guesswork. It’s designed using trusted science, then adjusted with your goals and lifestyle in mind.
Q: What data does Hoot use to calculate it?
Your current and target weight
Height, age, and gender
Activity level
Desired pace of weight change (e.g., 1 pound/week)
Q: Can I change my target later?
Absolutely. You can update your goals, weight, or activity level anytime in Settings.
Q: What makes it “smart”?
Hoot uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, considered the gold standard in nutrition science, to estimate your baseline calorie needs—then factors in your goals and exercise habits for a realistic, healthy plan.
Q: What if I want to override the target?
No problem. Hoot gives you full control to edit your targets at any time.
