Nutrition Goals
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.
Examples
- Daily eat this much protein.
- Stay below this many Carbs.
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.

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:
- What do you use now? > Can you show me?
- What does the current solution for you excel at? Why did you choose it? > What is your biggest pain?
Rather than looking for requirements find out the value pieces and we can extract them.
