Your profile
Note: this part of the app comes with a licence. The free edition covers injections.
Health → Body holds your profile: height, weight, date of birth, sex (for the formulas), activity level, goal and, optionally, body fat. Tap Edit at the top to change it. It's used to show:
- Body mass index (and, if you enter body fat, a leaner-body view, since BMI misreads muscular people)
- Daily calories to maintain, cut or bulk
- A starting point for protein, carbs and fat
- Heart numbers such as your estimated max heart rate and training zones (set your own max in Health → Setup → Live heart rate if you know it)
If you use Health Connect, your latest weight and body fat are filled in for you. Weigh-ins you log yourself are used too, and the newest one wins.
Weight
The Weight card shows your latest weigh-in, your 7-day average, your trend per week, and a chart. Tap Log weight to add a weigh-in for today or an earlier day. There's one weigh-in per day: saving another on the same day replaces it. History lists every day with a weight, from your own weigh-ins and from Health Connect, with the app or scale each reading came from. Tap one of your own to change or delete it. You can also log your weight in the daily check-in. On a day with both, your own entry is used. Use 30 days, 90 days, 1 year or All to change the chart's range.
With Weight switched on in Health → Setup, the app reads your whole weight history from Health Connect, up to 10 years, from every app and scale that wrote to it. If Health Connect only gives the last few weeks, allow Access past data for this app (the Setup screen tells you when it's off).
If you've turned the check-in off, the Today screen still shows a one-tap Weigh in row once you've logged a weight in the last two weeks.
Note: these are standard formulas and rough guides. They aren't nutrition or medical advice.
Measurements
Under Measurements, tap Add measurements to record your waist, chest, arm, thigh, hips, neck, calf (in cm) and body fat %. Fill in the ones you track. The card shows your latest numbers, the change since your first entry, a small trend line, and your waist-to-height ratio. History lists every entry; tap one to edit or delete it.
Progress photos
Tap Add photo, pick the pose (front, side or back) and the date, then take or choose a photo. Compare puts two dates side by side for the same pose.
Photos stay on this phone. Daily backups and Google Drive leave them out; to keep them, or take them to a new phone, include them in a shared backup (see Backups). Each photo is resized when it's saved, which also removes hidden details such as its location.
