Shifting daily calorie targets

Give yourself more calories on Friday, Saturday or any day you choose, while keeping the same weekly target.

Every Friday and Saturday, I’d go over my calorie target—usually eating out or having a beer with friends. I knew it was going to happen.

The rest of the week, I was pretty good about hitting my calories and macros. I wanted my targets to reflect that. A little more room on Friday and Saturday, a little less on the other days, and the same total for the week.

That’s why I added daily calorie adjustments to Fit Shapes.

One more way Fit Shapes adapts

Maybe you have a regular trivia night with friends, a Friday date night or a Saturday dinner out. You can set your targets around those plans.

Open Goal → Calories by day and tap a day to cycle through Usual, More, Most or Less. The other days adjust automatically to keep your weekly calorie target the same.

Save your changes, and that pattern repeats each week. Today shows the calorie and macro targets for the day you’re on. You can adjust your week whenever you need to, or tap Even out to return to the same target every day.

If you use Adaptive Targets and accept a new target at your weekly check-in, your chosen higher- and lower-calorie days stay the same. The amounts adjust to your new weekly total.

Protein targets are unchanged

Your protein target stays the same every day. The calorie adjustments come from carbs and fat. Higher-calorie days give you more of both, and lower-calorie days give you less, in the same proportions.

I hope this makes it easier to plan around your week. If you have questions or feedback, I’d love to hear from you at support@fitshapes.com.
