Tracking Progress

Logging food is only half the picture. Piehole shows you trends over time so you can see whether your habits are actually moving the needle.

Daily calorie progress

The Today tab shows a progress bar at the top with three numbers:

• Eaten — calories logged so far today
• Goal — your daily calorie target
• Remaining — how much budget you have left

Below the bar, you’ll see a macro breakdown: protein, carbs, and fat, each shown as a progress bar against your target.

The calorie goal is calculated from your profile (age, height, weight, activity level, goal). It’s not a guess — it’s your TDEE adjusted for your target weight. If your profile is up to date, the goal is accurate.

Calendar view

The Calendar tab shows a monthly grid where each day is color-coded based on how close you were to your calorie goal:

• Green — on target (within your goal)
• Yellow — slightly over
• Red — significantly over
• Gray — no entries logged

Tap any day to see a summary: total calories, macros, and every food entry from that day.

The calendar makes it easy to spot patterns — maybe you consistently go over on weekends, or your Tuesdays are always on point. Knowing the pattern is the first step to changing it.

Weight tracking

On the Today tab, there’s a weight tracking card. Tap Log Weight to record today’s weight.

The chart shows:

• Daily weight — each log entry as a point
• 7-day moving average — a smoothed trend line that filters out day-to-day noise
• Target weight — a horizontal line showing your goal

Weight fluctuates daily due to water, food, and other factors. The moving average shows the real trend. If the average line is heading toward your target, you’re on track — even if individual days bounce around.

To log weight, enter the value in your preferred unit (lbs or kg, based on your profile settings) and tap Save.

Macro summary

If you’ve set macro targets in your profile, the Today tab shows a four-item summary: calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Each shows current vs. target.

Macro targets are optional. If you haven’t set them, only the calorie progress bar is shown.

To set macro targets, go to Settings → Edit Profile and scroll to the macro section.

Reading your history

The calendar gives you a 30-day view. To see older data, swipe left to go back in time.

Day detail sheets show the full food log for that day — every entry with its calorie and macro contribution. This is useful for understanding why a particular day was good or bad.

Progress over time

For longer-term progress, the weight chart is your best tool. A 4–8 week window is usually enough to see a clear trend — daily weigh-ins give the moving average enough data to be meaningful.

Consistent daily logging (even rough estimates) is more valuable than occasional precise logging. The trends are what matter, not the exact numbers.
