Progress Tracking

ClapDiet shows progress in four places, and they answer different questions. Knowing which is which saves a lot of clicking.

Track — the averages

Track is the hub. Choose 7, 14 or 30 days and it shows your daily averages for calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium over that window, with calories set against your goal. Underneath are your level and points, your current streak, and your most recent achievements.

Along the top are tiles to every other tracker: weight, blood pressure, glucose, exercise, symptoms, fasting and hydration.

Use it to answer: am I roughly where I mean to be?

Insights — the patterns

Insights is where ClapDiet tells you things you would not see by looking at averages:

Your weekly briefing — a written summary of the week.

How steady your intake is, as opposed to what it averages. Averaging 1,900 kcal a day looks the same whether every day was 1,900 or the days alternated between 800 and 3,000, and those are very different weeks.

Which direction it is moving day over day.

Weekday against weekend, and whether your meals are drifting later or earlier week over week.

Your usual meal times, and the day your sodium peaked.

A lab forecast — where your current intake is heading relative to your last results.

Yesterday, recapped, and a note when your macro split has shifted.

Use it to answer: what is actually going on, and what should I change?

The daily and weekly summaries on the phone

Daily Summary is one day in full: calories consumed against your target, the four macros, every meal with its entries, water, exercise minutes, your micronutrients where ClapDiet has a target for them, and a daily nutrition score. You can move back and forward a day at a time. Weekly Summary is the same week over week, including your weight trend.

Where a micronutrient has no target for you yet, the row is left out rather than shown at zero — a blank is honest and a zero is not.

The report

Report is a printable page pulling together your lab panels, weight, glucose, blood pressure and medication interactions. It is the one to take to an appointment.

What makes any of it worth reading

All four are computed from your logs. Two weeks of consistent logging produces a picture worth acting on; three logged days out of fourteen produces noise. If you only have the appetite for one habit, make it logging what you eat — everything on this page follows from it.
