Your coaching, explained

Where your target comes from, and how it's computed.

Why did my target change?

Your target changed from 2350 kcal/day to 2250 kcal/day.

Applied on 2026-09-20. This is a completed target transition, not a recommendation waiting for your approval.

7 of 7 logged days stayed within the calorie target active on that date. 7 logged days were available in the completed review window.

Across 3 weigh-ins, trend weight moved from 73.6 kg to 73.6 kg (-0.05 kg).

Across 3 training days: 2520 kcal/day. Rest days: 2048 kcal/day. The week averages 2250 kcal/day.

Expenditure data is unavailable for this applied target transition, so no measured-expenditure or confidence claim is shown.

How this works

Your target doesn't come from a fixed formula. It starts from the goal calculator's estimate, then updates every week from what you actually logged: your trend weight (a smoothed average, not the number on the scale any one day) and your average daily intake.

If a week is too thin on data — fewer than 4 logged nutrition days or 2 weigh-ins out of the trailing 7 — the estimate holds where it was rather than reacting to a guess. That's why a sparse week can leave your target unchanged.

How trend weight translates to a calorie target depends on how close you are to your goal weight, when one is set: within 0.7 kg of it, your target holds at your measured expenditure (maintenance). Further out, either your stated weekly rate sets the target directly, or — with no goal weight — a small nudge (about 0.15% of your bodyweight per week) steers gently toward it.

The kcal-to-kg conversion itself isn't a single constant: rapid weight change is disproportionately water and glycogen, so it converts at a lower energy density (~5,500 kcal/kg) than slow, steady change, which approaches true fat-mass density (~7,700 kcal/kg).

This is an explainable tracking aid, not medical advice or a guarantee of an outcome.
