MilliMarkStart with the whole week
Different daily targets are one way to organize a nutrition plan. They are not a reason to invent a new calorie target every time a workout changes. Your goal, normal activity and training schedule provide the context. Recovery continues between workouts, so a day without a gym session is not a day without nutrition needs. The Australian Institute of Sport includes nutrition as part of recovery planning.
Separate the target from the record
A target is the amount you planned. A food log is what you entered as eaten. Keep those separate when looking back. If training moves from Tuesday to Wednesday, first check the plan and any weekday settings you use; do not rewrite yesterday’s food entries to make the totals match a new target. An honest record is more useful than a perfect-looking one.
Use a weekly average to understand the numbers
Here is arithmetic, not a recommended intake: four days at 2,300 kcal and three days at 2,000 kcal total 15,200 kcal for the week, or about 2,171 kcal a day. A flat daily target with that same weekly total has the same arithmetic average. The example helps explain a plan’s structure; it does not establish the right intake for you.
Keep the practical decisions simple
Look at meals you can repeat and the amounts you can check. When logging a packaged food, confirm whether its label is per serving or per 100 g. When entering a food from a database, choose the relevant preparation state and amount. These small recording decisions affect the usefulness of a weekly review more directly than changing targets in response to one unusual day.
Use MilliMark as the record
Nutrition is a Pro feature in MilliMark. The target row and recorded totals let you inspect what is planned and what has been entered. Use trends and the wider context when reviewing a plan, and seek individualized nutrition advice when you need it. The app’s calculations organize your inputs; they are not a measurement of your exact energy requirements.
