Can I set my own calorie and macro targets in NutriScan?

Summarize with: ChatGPT Claude AI Mode Perplexity

Yes. In Profile, open Modify Macros to type your own protein, carbs and fat in grams. The Free plan includes it.

Go to Profile, then Modify Macros. The screen is filled in with your saved targets for protein, carbs, fat and fiber. Each macro has a grams field you can type in and a slider. Protein, carbs and fat also show their share of your calories.

How it works in the app

1. Open Profile > Modify Macros.
2. Type grams or drag the slider for protein, carbs and fat.
3. Watch "Updated Calorie Goal". It uses the 4-4-9 rule: protein and carbs count 4 calories per gram, fat counts 9.
4. Tap Update Macros. The button changes to "Macros Updated" and the screen closes.
5. Home recommendations and the Today's Count card refresh with your new targets.

You can also type a calorie number directly. The app then splits it 30% protein, 50% carbs and 20% fat.

Let the app pick

The "Auto-Set Macros by Goal" card opens a calculator: age and gender, height and weight, then activity level. It returns calculated targets. The "How it Works?" link shows the health sources behind it.
