Monitoring Your Diet
MyPersonalDiet provides different methods for monitoring your diet from different
perspectives.
5.1
Today Plug-in
The Today plug-in displays the target and actual energy consumption (in calories or
kilojoules) for the day, and lets you know if you can consume more food or not.
The target energy value (loss or gain) being displayed is either adjusted for the time of
the day or the whole day, based on the BMR adjustment option (see section 8.3 for
details). In the first case, the values are updated on a regular basis (every minute or so),
so they are accurate at any time of the day.
5.2
Day view
The Day view gives you immediate information about your daily energetic and
nutritional consumption, diet progress, meals, workouts and health information
Figure 24: The Day view gives you an instant snapshot of your day (left) and diet (right).
Daily Summary
The daily summary presents daily information about energy from meals vs. workouts and
BMR. The value shown for the BMR is either adjusted for the time of day or the whole
day, depending on the BMR adjustment option (see section 8.3 for more details).
You can also track any nutrient by tapping on Calories (or Kilojoules) and selecting a
nutrient from the list being shown (you can customize the nutrients being shown, as
explained in section 8.5). Figure 25 shows a daily summary of carbs consumption with a
250 g maximum limit, a daily recommend value (DV) of 300 g.
