Short answer: not perfectly, and that’s completely okay 💚

It’s great if you come close to your calorie goal most days. Still, small day-to-day differences are normal and nothing to worry about. Some days you’ll feel hungrier than others, and that’s part of being human.

Eating isn’t just about calories. It’s connected to many things, for example:

• your emotions
• your body’s signals
• enjoyment and pleasure
• social situations

All of these influence how and what you eat, so it’s natural for your eating patterns to vary from day to day.

How should I use my calorie goal?

Think of your calorie goal as a point of reference, not a rulebook 📊

It helps you keep an overview of your eating habits and notice patterns over time.

For example, if you go well above your calorie goal on one day, you can easily see which foods contributed most. Over time, this helps you build awareness of which foods are more calorie-dense and which ones are more filling with fewer calories.

What matters most over time

What really counts is your average over the week, not a single day.

If you exceed your calorie goal one day, you can naturally balance it out on another day, without pressure or guilt. Your body doesn’t reset at midnight, and your progress isn’t defined by one meal or one day 😊

Even if you’re very goal-oriented, we encourage you not to be overly strict with your calorie goal. Try to find a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you.

Calorie tracking should help you feel informed and confident, not stressed or restricted.

💡 A quick note on calorie recommendations

Every metabolism is different, and every body reacts differently to food. That’s why the calorie goals calculated in the Yazio app are intended as recommendations, not fixed or guaranteed values.

Use them as guidance, listen to your body, and adjust in a way that feels good for you 💫
