Figure 25: You can monitor your energetic summary or any nutrient, such as carbohydrates.

Diet Summary
The diet summary (Menu > Journal > Diet) immediately lets you know if you are on

whereas the weight trend is shown in blue.
The weight trend is what matters the most because it discards the normal daily weight
fluctuations, and shows you where you weight is heading to. For instance, in Figure 25,
although the red line has various ups and downs, the trend line clearly shows that the
weight is going down, even if it went up once as some point.
Following the red line is misleading because its fluctuations don’t give a long-term
perspective of the diet. In Figure 25, there are various ups, which are not relevant as the
trend shows that the weight is clearly heading down.
