How do I review a client's food log?

Q: What happens if a client copies a day's log onto a day that already has food?

The target day's items are replaced entirely by the copied items, not merged, and there's no undo. If the source day has never had anything logged, nothing changes.

Read a client's week of eating — averages, consistency, macro distribution — then open any day to see meals, photos, and micros.

Open a client's profile → Nutrition tab → Food Log to see everything they've eaten, week by week. It's the first of the tab's three sub-tabs, alongside Meal Plans and Macro Targets.

Weeks run Monday to Sunday, and a week picker moves you between them.

Read a client's week

The week view shows:

Average daily calories against the client's goal, with a Target met or Off target pill — judged on the week's average against the variance band.
How many of the 7 days the client logged food — the fastest read on consistency.
A per-day calorie bar chart. Click any day to open its full log.
Weekly macro averages and a macro distribution breakdown.
A weekly totals table.

Open a day and read its meals

Click a day's bar in the chart to load it below the week summary, or step through days with the Previous day and Next day arrows. The day view opens on today when today is in the selected week, otherwise on Monday. It shows:

Per-meal sections — Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks — listing each logged item's serving and macros. Meals with nothing logged say so.
Items the client logged from a recipe, grouped under a collapsible recipe header.
The client's meal photos for that day. Click one to view it full size.
A Show micronutrients toggle with the day's micronutrient totals, once food is logged.
The day's calorie goal against the day's total, flagged when the total goes over. Here a date override for that day wins over the default target.

Correct what's in the log

You can fix entries from the day view without waiting for the client:

Edit a serving — open a food row's menu, choose Edit serving size, adjust the amount, and click Save. A live preview shows the recalculated macros.
Delete an item — choose Delete from the row menu, then Delete food to confirm.
Delete a whole recipe — choose Delete on a recipe header, then Delete recipe items. Every food item logged as part of that recipe goes together.

Things to watch out for

Items you log on a client's behalf never carry a meal photo. Meal photos only come from the client.

Quick answers

Can food be logged for past or future days?

Yes, on both sides, with no cutoff in either direction — so a week can change after you've reviewed it.
