Yes, that's no problem at all. During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, your energy and nutrient needs change - this includes macronutrients like fat and protein, your daily water intake, and almost all vitamins and minerals.
If you indicate in your settings that you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the Fddb nutrient planner will automatically adjust your recommended values. These recommendations are based on the official reference values from the DGE (German Nutrition Society).
Here’s how to enable this setting:
- Open the Fddb app.
- Tap Account (Android) or More (iOS) in the bottom-right corner.
- Open Settings by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner (Android) or tap My Account (iOS).
- Toggle the switch next to Pregnant or Breastfeeding.
- Go back and tap on nutrient planner.
- Tap the calculator icon in the top right corner and select Next (Android) or OK (iOS).
- Your daily requirements will now be automatically recalculated.
Please note:
If you previously set your own custom target values in the nutrient planner, these will be overwritten by the recalculation.
