How to set macro targets
Macro targets are your daily goals for protein, carbs, fat, and calories.
MesoMetric shows what you ate against those goals on the Meals screen.
Set your targets
- Open Meals.
- Find the Macro Targets card, under Daily totals.
- Tap Set Target.
- Enter your numbers into PROTEIN, CARBS, FAT, and CALORIES.
- Tap Save Target.
Use whole numbers only. Decimals are not accepted.
Before any target is set, the card reads:
No macro targets set. Tap 'Set Target' to initialize Protein, Carbs, Fat, and Calorie limits.
In that state, tapping anywhere on the card opens the editor.
One set of numbers, every day
Your targets apply to every day. They are not set per day.
Changing them applies the new numbers everywhere, including days already logged.
Change your targets
The button reads Edit Target once targets exist.
Tapping a single macro row opens the editor on that macro.
Read your progress
Each row shows what you ate against your goal, then how much is left.
A row reads either left or over. The over state is styled differently.
Calories are optional. Left empty, MesoMetric calculates them from your protein, carb, and fat numbers, for both your goal and what you ate.
What targets do not do
Targets change the Meals screen only. They do not:
- send you a notification
- stop you logging food
- appear in your Coach Report
- appear in any export
Turning targets off
There is no off switch. Edit the numbers to change what is shown.
