What is the Safety Floor Setting?

The Safety Floor is a built-in minimum calorie threshold that helps prevent dangerously low intake. It is enabled by default for all users.

What the Safety Floor Does

The Safety Floor sets a minimum number of daily calories that Nutrify considers safe. If your logged intake for the day falls below this threshold, Nutrify will display a warning to let you know.

The default Safety Floor values are:

• 1,500 kcal for users who selected Male during onboarding
• 1,200 kcal for users who selected Female during onboarding

These values are based on widely accepted nutritional guidelines for minimum safe intake in adults.

Why the Safety Floor Matters

Consistently eating below your minimum calorie needs can lead to:

• Nutrient deficiencies
• Loss of muscle mass
• Fatigue and reduced mental clarity
• Metabolic slowdown that makes future weight loss harder

The Safety Floor acts as a guardrail, not a target. Your actual daily goal should be higher than the Safety Floor in most cases.

⚠️ Warning: The Safety Floor is not medical advice. If you have specific dietary requirements due to a medical condition, consult your doctor or registered dietitian.

How the Warning Appears

When your total logged calories for the day are below the Safety Floor, you will see a gentle notification on the home screen. This is informational only and does not block you from using the app.

How to View or Adjust the Safety Floor

1. Open Nutrify and tap Settings (gear icon).
2. Tap Preferences.
3. Find the Safety Floor setting.
4. You can toggle it on or off, or adjust the minimum calorie value.

💡 Tip: We recommend keeping the Safety Floor enabled. If the default value does not match your needs (for example, if you are petite or very tall), you can adjust the number rather than turning it off entirely.

Safety Floor and Other Features

The Safety Floor works alongside other Nutrify features:

• Calorie Rollover - Rollover calories are added on top of your base target, but the Safety Floor still applies. Even with rollover, you will get a warning if your actual intake is too low.
• Smart Goals - Smart Goals may adjust your daily target up or down, but they will never set a target below the Safety Floor.
• Fasting - If you use intermittent fasting, you may see Safety Floor warnings during your fasting window. This is expected and will resolve once you eat during your eating window.
