Improve the body weight graph #574

Open rolandgeider opened 3 years ago

rolandgeider commented 3 years ago

Currently the body weight graph only shows... the body weight. It would be more useful if we could show other data that we already have on it, e.g. the planned and logged calories (if available) so that the effect can be seen. If we have user pictures, we can show them as well for additional motivation. We will need to switch from metrics graphics for that. IMG_20201209_223321

interesting idea. though getting pictures on the chart seems difficult. also pictures are very unnuanced and can be very misleading depending on lighting, hydration level, flexing etc. they could be useful on the level of years, or months for someone who is making great progress, but nothing finer than that.

for people who can take mesaurements of their muscle mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference or similar, you could also plot that correlated with physical activity (logged volume, RPE) and logged calories, for example.

what might be cool also, is if you plan a cut or a bulk for x months, is to show the stats specific to that timeframe. so for each cut and bulk, you could have a before-after pic, a difference in weight, body fat percentage, waist circumference, etc Note that this would require treating these measurements as "first class" supported measurements, rather than an opaque measurement that the user enters and wger doesn't understand.
