I don’t meet many of my nutrition goals on a daily basis. Some days I’m under, some days I’m over. But if you averaged out what I ate over the course of several days, I’d come pretty close. For example, say we use a 7 day average, and my fat goal is 40-70g. If in the past 7 days I’ve eaten between 280 and 490g of of fat, on average I’ve met my goal. |

Seconded. Some sort of indication of how you’re doing on average over a period of time would be very useful. I tend to do this now by eye and mental calculation. |

That’s a cool idea. One thing that comes to mind is that the charts in your Fitness Report (PRO) will give you a good visual indication of this. |

i think this is related, so i didn’t start a new post. i would like to be able to have my goals change throughout the week. (please let me know if this is possible, because i can’t figure out how to do it) the benefit of this would be like if you were doing something like body for life where you get a ‘free day’ one day a week where you can eat more freely without it counting against you. |

If you click on the goal value from your Nutrition Log, then you can modify it on a daily basis. After upgrading to PRO, you can view your progress and goals changing over time. |

+1 to averages for nutrition. I’m willing to bet that relatively few people get everything right every day. I want to be able to see monthly and weekly averages for everything, including vitamin intake. You allow people to add those when adding new foods, but then you never display them. I want to know which vitamins I am deficient in over time. Oh, and ‘looking at the charts for your weekly progress’, is not enough. First, they don’t show all nutrients. Second, I just want to know the straight average. |

Is any progress being made on this? It seems like a pretty simple request… I want to be able to see my averages for all of the things you collect. I don’t understand why the fitness report only shows a few items. I want to know if I am deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. You already have the info because it is logged when we log the food. You just need to expose it to us somehow. I’d settle for an export to excel for now, but I’d really like to just see an extended chart so we can view our averages for every metric. Would also like to see averages for the big ones – fat, calories, etc, over an extended period of time. |
