6 Monitoring Your Diet
MyPersonalDiet provides different methods for monitoring your diet from different
perspectives.
6.1 Today View
The Today view (section 3) displays the same daily summary (section 6.2) as shown in
the Journal . This is a very quick way of tracking daily calories or a specific nutrient.
6.2 Journal
The Journal gives you immediate information about your daily energetic and nutritional
consumption, diet progress, meals, workouts and health information
Figure 22: 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 8.4 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 8.4). Figure 23 shows a daily summary of carbs consumption with a
250 g maximum limit, a daily recommend value (DV) of 300 g.
With this information, you can immediately find out how much energy or how much of a
given nutrient you’ve consumed for the day, and how much you’re allowed to consume
for the remaining of the day.
