Logging meals and macros

OmniF’s nutrition tracking is built around two ideas: log quickly, and only care about precision when it matters for your goal.

What to log

Open Nutrition from the home screen. Each meal entry needs:

• A name (or pick from your recent meals)
• Approximate macros (protein / carbs / fat) — calories auto-calculate
• A meal slot (breakfast / lunch / dinner / snack)

You can log a meal in 5 seconds if it’s a repeat. First-time foods take 15-20 seconds because you fill in macros.

How macros recalculate

As soon as you save a meal, OmniF recalculates your daily totals and updates the macro rings on your home screen. This is live (no save lag) since v0.17.

The rings show three things at once:

• Distance from target (the ring fill)
• Day-of-week trend (the small dot inside, showing your 7-day average for that macro)
• Energy balance (the colour shift toward green at target, amber if over, red if significantly over)

When precision matters

For most training goals, “close” is fine. Hitting protein within ±10g of target every day matters more than hitting carbs to the gram.

Precision matters for:

• Cuts (active fat loss) — under-eating by 200kcal a day adds up
• Performance prep — race-day fuelling needs accuracy
• Health investigations — if you’re using OmniF data to discuss something with a dietitian

For everything else, the OmniF philosophy is: log most days, accept the noise, watch the trend over weeks.

Quick logging shortcuts

• Tap any meal in your history → “Log again today” copies it to today
• Tap a saved recipe → all its macros scale to your serving size
• Long-press a meal slot to copy yesterday’s entry into today
