Nutrition Goals #1003

Closed HamBoneGreen closed 12 months ago

HamBoneGreen commented 2 years ago

Wife is using me as a test subject to see if she likes coaching/training. I decided to use this as a dashboard to 'report' to her. Her number one concern for it was the inability for a trainer to set Nutrition Goals for a user. She can set a calorie count, but she would like a way to highlight how much of each Macro I should shoot for, ie Protein, Carbs, etc.

I would like to suggest adding 'Goals or Limits' to the Macros in the Nutrition Planning Section.

Hi! You are right that at the moment it's not possible to set any kind of goals. I have some other ideas on what to improve with the nutrition tracking in general, adding this issue to the next release

I do not want to speak out of ignorance, but it might be worth talking to 5-6 personal trainers to find out what they use now for their clients/selves and how the current solution lacks.

I'd be willing to do that if you'd like.

That would be very useful! We can open an info dump issue/discussion and then sort the things that we can do from there

I'd love to help with this as well, and I know personal trainers that I can talk to.

Sure!!

Don't take this as me telling you how to talk to people, I'm not trying to be pushy just sharing/reminding what I've learned.

Ask questions like:

Rather than looking for requirements find out the value pieces and we can extract them.

Any updates? :)
