How to Change Your Fitness Goal After Setup

This article shows you how to update your fitness goal, activity level, calorie target, or body stats in Nutrify at any time after your initial setup.

Changing Your Fitness Goal

Your fitness goal (lose weight, maintain, or gain weight) directly controls whether Nutrify sets a calorie deficit, maintenance, or surplus. To change it:

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap Settings (gear icon)
3. Tap Nutrition Goals
4. Select your new fitness goal
5. Tap Save

Your daily calorie target updates immediately.

Changing Your Activity Level

If your exercise habits have changed, updating your activity level will recalculate your calorie goal:

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Profile
4. Update your Activity Level
5. Tap Save

Choose the level that best describes a typical week for you:

• Sedentary - Desk job, little to no exercise
• Lightly Active - Light exercise 1-3 days/week
• Moderately Active - Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week
• Very Active - Hard exercise 6-7 days/week
• Extra Active - Intense daily training or physical job

Tip: If you are unsure, pick one level lower than you think. It is easier to eat a bit more than to overcome a too-generous calorie budget.

Setting a Custom Calorie Target

If your doctor or dietitian has given you a specific calorie number, you can override the calculated goal:

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Nutrition Goals
4. Toggle on Custom Calorie Goal
5. Enter your target number
6. Tap Save

When a custom goal is active, changes to your profile (weight, activity level) will not automatically adjust your calorie target. Turn off the custom goal toggle to return to the calculated value.

Updating Your Body Stats

As your body changes, keeping your profile up to date ensures accurate calorie calculations:

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Profile
4. Update your Weight, Height, or other details
5. Tap Save

Tip: Update your weight regularly (weekly or bi-weekly) for the most accurate calorie goal. Your goal adjusts automatically as your weight changes.

Adjusting Macro Targets

Beyond calories, you can customize your protein, carbs, and fat ratios:

1. Open Nutrify
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Nutrition Goals
4. Scroll to Macro Targets
5. Adjust the percentages or gram amounts
6. Tap Save

Popular macro splits include:

• Balanced: 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat
• Low carb: 35% protein, 25% carbs, 40% fat
• High protein: 40% protein, 35% carbs, 25% fat

When Should You Change Your Goal?

Common reasons to update your settings:

• You have reached your target weight and want to switch from "lose" to "maintain"
• Your exercise routine has changed significantly
• You have started a new diet plan or received advice from a health professional
• Your weight has changed by 5+ lbs since you last updated your profile
