Introduction
Your nutrition needs aren’t static—and Hoot is built to adapt with you. Whether your goals shift, your routine changes, or you simply want more control, you can update your Goals & Details and your Daily Plan in just a few taps.
Update Your Goals & Details
Go to: Settings → Goals & Details
From here, you can update:

Current weight
Height
Age

Measurement units for:

These details help Hoot calculate accurate calorie and macro recommendations based on your body and lifestyle.

Go to: Settings → Daily Plan
This is where you’ll adjust your day-to-day nutrition targets.
Tap any target with the pencil icon

Hoot will always provide a default recommendation—based on your personal profile and best practices from nutrition science—but you have full control to override anything.
Default Targets (always included):
Calories

Carbohydrates (calculated after protein & fat)
Fat (default: 30% of calories + minimum safe thresholds)
Optional Targets (you can toggle on/off):

A Note on Safety & Medical Guidance
Hoot uses safe minimum calorie floors to protect your health:
Women: 1,200 kcal/day
Men: 1,500 kcal/day
Other genders: 1,350 kcal/day
If your edits push you below these levels, Hoot will prevent unsafe settings.
Because nutrition needs vary—especially for people with medical conditions, using GLP-1 medications, or following specialized diets—we recommend consulting with a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified professional before making major changes.
