Your week

The weekly view and the weekly check.

Your week is a card on the Fuel tab. It compares what you averaged in a week with what you were meant to average. The weekly figures are averages of several days, so one unusual day does not stand on its own.

When to use it

  • You want to know whether your protein came out where it should over a week, not just today.
  • You closed a few days and want to see whether they added up to target.
  • Your weight moved oddly and you want to check whether logging and the scale tell the same story.
  • You want to look back at earlier weeks.

Step by step

  1. Open Fuel and scroll down to the Your week card, which sits below Supplements.
  2. Read the verdict line at the top of the card, once the week has three or more complete days. It says in one sentence how the week went.
  3. Look at the chart. Each week shows up to three bars, one each for protein (marked P), carbs (C) and fat (F), shown as a percentage of your target. A dashed line marks 100 percent.
  4. Read the line under the chart. It says how many days out of the seven count, and whether the week counts days you closed or days you logged.
  5. Tap Details to see the four weeks, listed newest first, each with its protein, carb and fat percentages, its average calories against that week's target, and the dates it covers.
  6. At the bottom of Details, the Which days count section explains the basis in one sentence and shows the legend: Protein met, On target, Over, Under.

How the weeks are built

Each week is a rolling 7-day block. The newest one ends today if today is closed, and otherwise yesterday. A week that reads seven of seven always means seven closed days. Details lists four weeks.

What goes into the average is one definition of intake: your food entries plus the doses of any supplement you gave macros to, such as a protein shake. A shake counts in Your week just as it counts in your day.

Reading the bars

The colours follow fixed rules, restated at the bottom of Details:

  • Protein counts as met from 90 percent of target. Going over protein is never marked down.
  • Carbs and fat are on target within 10 percent. Over that, the bar turns amber.
  • Under is shown in a quiet grey.

The weekly check

Two checks run alongside the week view. Both use the same rule about which days count: once three of your logged days are closed, only closed days count; until then, every day you logged.

  • Is logging adding up? On the Energy & target screen, a card compares what your logging and burn figures predict your weight should do over a week with what the scale showed over those days. It needs at least four complete days before it can answer, and shows how many you have until then. When the scale has moved less than predicted, it says the gap usually means food going unlogged, and sometimes the watch over-reading your burn. When the scale is moving faster than predicted, it asks whether your target is steeper than you intended.
  • The weekly calorie check. Once a week, the calorie target itself is re-examined against how your weight actually moved. Small moves are applied on their own, always with a sentence saying what changed. Larger moves are never applied silently: Forma asks first and states the reason. For example, you are losing more than 1 percent of bodyweight a week, or a move would pass your safety limits. Nothing is applied below your calorie floor: the higher of your resting burn and the common minimum Forma uses. If you have undone a calorie change of this kind twice, it asks first instead of repeating itself.
