If you’ve logged your meals for a certain number of days but your weekly nutrition check-in is showing fewer counted days, this is usually because not all logged days meet the requirements needed for the calculation.
Here’s how it works and why this happens.
How the Weekly Nutrition Check-In works
The weekly nutrition check-in is designed to review your past 7 days of progress and adjust your calorie target based on your goal:
- Lose weight
- Build muscle
- Maintain weight
It uses both:
- Your body weight tracking
- Your nutrition logs over the last 7 days
Based on this, it recalculates a sustainable calorie target for you.
Minimum logging requirements
To generate a new calorie adjustment, the system needs enough reliable data.
That means:
- You must log your weight AND meals for at least 3 out of the past 7 days
- If you do not meet this minimum, the check-in cannot calculate an updated target
Why some logged days are not counted
Even if you technically logged food on a day, it may not be included in the calculation.
A day only counts if you meet your daily logging consistency threshold:
- The day must be within 80% of your daily calorie target
- Days below this threshold are excluded from the weekly calculation
This is to ensure the system is only using days where your intake is accurately tracked.
How to calculate the 80% threshold
To find your minimum required intake for a day to count:
- Take your daily calorie target
- Multiply it by 0.8
Example:
- If your target is 2,000 calories
- 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 calories
So you must log at least 1,600 calories for that day to be counted.
What you can do next
To ensure your next check-in works as expected:
- Log your meals consistently each day
- Make sure you are logging enough food to reach at least 80% of your target
- Record your weight regularly (at least a few times per week)
- Aim for at least 3 fully logged days within each 7-day window
