When To Adjust Calories

Give a new target time to produce a trend. A few consistent weeks of weigh-ins, approximate calorie intake, protein, and normal activity tell you more than one unusually high or low day.

Use the moderate timeline as a reference rather than a deadline. The goal is to steer calmly, not to make the app's estimate come true at all costs.

If your trend and how you feel suggest an adjustment, change one variable in a small step. That may mean a modest calorie change, more regular walks, or a simpler meal routine.

Significant changes, very low targets, pregnancy, eating disorder history, or medical conditions are all good reasons to work with a qualified healthcare professional.
