Keeping track of your diet can be tricky when you consider all the mundane activities you do throughout the day — each burning a fraction of the calories you consume. However, the app takes care of that for you!
The app automatically accounts for daily lifestyle activities such as showering, brushing teeth, cooking, sleeping, sexual activity, washing dishes, and more, as part of your Weight Maintenance Calories.
Additionally, the Physical Activity Level you selected in your Personal Info section reflects your general lifestyle and job-related movement. This level starts with "Sedentary" and increases based on how active your daily routine is.
Because of this, you don’t need to log these routine activities in the Exercise section. That section is intended for intentional workouts or exercise sessions that go beyond your baseline activity level. Any exercises you log will be included in your daily energy balance calculations.
If your daily non-exercise activity — such as movement at work, caregiving, or chores — is consistently high, you may want to select a higher activity level than Sedentary to more accurately reflect your energy needs.
