Make progress colors more gradual ⚪️🟢🟡🟠🔴
In weight loosing journey mind is as important as body. Expecting perfection from yourself especially if you’re in an early stage of your way to being healthier can get you nowhere very quickly. You have better and worse days and I’d love the app to reflect that without projecting guilt.
When I’m 70 kcal over my limit I don’t want to be hit by red colour like I did something wrong. It’s different than going 300 kcal over the goal but app doesn’t seem to see this different. It even promotes unhealthy habits by showing green colour even if you’re 500 kcal below your healthy value.
THE IDEA: add the colour scale to the progress bar so I can see the value the right way, the way that doesn’t make me feel guilty.
I’m way under the goal - make it grey ⚪️
I’m at the limit - make it vivid green 🟢
I’m above the limit - move me from green 🟢 through yellow 🟡, orange 🟠 to solid red 🔴, depending how much I missed the goal.
Let’s make the weight loosing healthy.

Totally agree!! Under eating 500 calories is the same as over eating 50 this way. Very bad! -

MarjonTo high is not good but to low is also not good and there is no red button to see.

StevenGood suggestion! The Noom app for example has a calorie goal "range" and makes it more visible that you should aim for a "roundabout" total calorie intake. A couple of extra cals aren't going to make the difference and it only creates unease to try to reach the goal up to the last digit.

UtaI agree! I am trying to increase and the steady my calory intake, so reaching or exceeding my calory by a tiny bit is actually an accomplishment for me :)

KaineI like the idea, but maybe do red, yellow, green, yellow and red. Because the app is designed for weight loss. So for someone like me, my aim is to be 500-700 under each day, but it would be helpful for it to show I am nearing the danger zone of being under OR over.
Maybe 900+ under is red 🔴, 900-600 under is yellow 🟡, 600 under to 50 over is green 🟢, 50-300 over is yellow 🟡 and 300+ over is red again 🔴. Or something similar to that and maybe those values are different depending on whether you are losing, gaining or maintaining. -

JanaThis would be really helpful!
Something similar could apply for macro or meal goals: currently they get a full green bar even when I consumed way too much, which doesn't make sense at all.
