Change the Date of Your Diary

Your diary will default to today, but you can choose to journal any day by using the right and left arrows on the green date icon (circled in red below) to go ahead or back by one day at a time. Expand the calendar widget to select a specific day to open in your diary. You can easily navigate between years or months by selecting the double or single arrows at the top of the calendar.

Add Items to Your Diary

You can journal four types of items to your daily diary by using the four buttons at the top of your screen:

Food: Log everything you eat and get a comprehensive view of your nutrition
Exercise: Log how much time you spend doing physical activities, and we'll keep track of how much extra energy you've burned.
Biometrics: Record measurements like your weight, body temperature, blood pressure, and cholesterol to track trends over time.
Notes: Keep any notes for the day. Add photos to your notes for more detail

Energy Summary

A summary of your daily nutrition is displayed in the Energy Summary section. You can see at a glance how well you are hitting each of your nutritional targets.
