[Feature Request] Calculate daily calories, protein, fat, carbs - assistant? #7

Open natrius opened 1 week ago

An assistant would be great for that. Like, put in your goal weight and calculate everything for you according to most official guidelines. Like 50-55% carbohydrates, 20-25% protein and not more than 25% fat is my last information. Additionally choose how much you move and it can calculate the target-calories with formulas (maybe even choose myself?) like seen on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate

In my person opinion dietary fibre should be included as well, but thats just me :D

Does anyone have suggestions for which formula(s) have the best accuracy? If you can link studies that would be greatly appreciated. I don't consider myself especially well read on the subject but I have seen a few studies which had most of the estimates as very innacurate.

Even if there isn't good evidence for them i'd probably end up adding this for fun regardless.
