Yes, the Fddb app can dynamically update your calorie needs. For the automatic adjustment to work, the following two conditions must be met:
- Automatic calculation in the Calorie and Nutrient Planner
- You use the automatic calculation of calorie and nutrient goals.
- If you have set custom values, your daily requirements will not be adjusted automatically - Manual weight entry
- You enter your weight manually in the Fddb app.
- When importing weight data via external services (e.g., Apple Health, Google Health Connect, Garmin, or Fitbit), dynamic adjustment is currently not technically possible.
Important notes
- Your daily requirement calculated by the system is always based on your current weight.
- Your saved goal (lose weight, gain weight, or maintain weight) does not affect your daily calorie goal.
