How to read nutrition and weight trends in Eatper

Choose the period you want to review

Open Progress and use Overview for a combined view of logging, calories, macros, and weight. The period selector offers one week, one month, three months, one year, and a custom range. Week and month represent the most recent 7 and 30 days.

Free includes the recent 30 days of progress charts. Longer and custom ranges require Premium. This chart limit is different from access to individual diary entries: existing diary entries remain available even when a longer chart range is locked.

1. Select a range that matches the question you want to answer.
2. Read the logged-day count alongside the calorie summary.
3. Check any notice about partial days or limited data.
4. Open the diary dates behind an unexpected number before comparing it with another period.

Understand which days contribute to an average

The overview’s average calories is calculated across days with logged entries. Missing days are excluded rather than treated as days when you consumed zero calories. A day with only some meals recorded can still contribute to that calorie average.

For a simple arithmetic example, suppose three logged days contain 1,800, 2,100, and 600 calories of entries. The average of those records is 1,500 calories. If the third day only includes breakfast, that result does not describe three fully recorded days. These numbers illustrate the calculation, not calorie targets.

Macro averages use days the app classifies as complete, and the view shows that sample count. This is a logging classification, not proof that every meal was recorded. Read the labels and partial-day notices instead of assuming that every summary uses the same set of days.

Let gaps remain visible

An empty date range or an unavailable comparison is useful information: the app does not have enough relevant records for that view. Check the selected dates and your entries before changing the range. Do not add guessed meals simply to make a chart look complete.

When comparing periods, look at their coverage as well as their numbers. A carefully recorded week and a week containing only a few breakfasts are different records. Premium unlocks period comparisons and deeper insights, but it cannot supply meals you did not log.

Separate measurements from the weight trend

The Weight section shows recorded measurements and a trend where enough data is available. The trend smooths the measurements; it is not an additional weigh-in. A single entry cannot establish a change across a period, and a trend needs measurements across multiple days.

If more than one measurement is recorded on a day, the trend calculation uses that day’s latest entry. Check the measurement history when something looks unexpected, including the date and unit. Review a longer range when your plan allows it to give an individual reading more context.

End with a practical record check

Use the overview to decide which record to inspect next. A surprising calorie total may come from a portion entered in the wrong amount. A gap may be a meal you have not entered yet. Correct the underlying diary or measurement record, then review the summary again.

The screenshots use example data. Your own view depends on your selected dates, saved entries, targets, and plan. These pages explain how to read Eatper’s displays; they do not establish a medical conclusion or prescribe a change to your food intake.
