Food Diary
Track your daily meals, calories, and macros to stay on top of your nutrition goals.
Overview
The Food Diary helps you log everything you eat and drink throughout the day. It automatically calculates calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) to help you stay on track with your nutrition goals.
Your coach can view your meal logs if you've enabled this in your Data Privacy settings. This helps them provide better nutritional guidance.
