The target date, energy budget, and target rate in our app are interconnected. Adjusting one of these parameters will automatically adjust the other two to ensure consistency and help you achieve your weight management goals effectively. Here's how they interact:
- Target Date: This is the date by which you aim to reach your weight goal. Changing this date will automatically adjust your daily energy budget (calorie or kilojoule intake) and your target rate of weight change per week, based on your current weight, goal weight, and other personalized factors.
- Energy Budget: This represents the daily amount of calories or kilojoules you need to consume to reach your goal by the target date. If you adjust your energy budget, both the target date and target rate will be recalculated to match the new calorie intake with your weight goal.
- Target Rate: This indicates the rate at which you aim to lose or gain weight, typically measured in pounds or kilograms per week. Modifying your target rate will lead to changes in both your energy budget and target date, aligning your weight change pace with your overall goal.
Additional Information:
Depending on the weight goal you've set, the app automatically recalibrates these parameters each time you log your weight. This dynamic adjustment helps keep your weight management plan both realistic and tailored to your progress, ensuring you stay on track towards achieving your desired outcome.
