Your first week

Most of the value comes from a few weeks of clean data, not from how perfectly you set things up on day one. This walkthrough gets you from sign-up to a useful baseline.

Before you start

You'll need:

• An email address (or an Apple / Google account).
• A weight scale you trust.
• Roughly ten minutes to do the initial setup.

Optional but useful:

• A tape measure (for waist or other body measurements).
• Your most recent bloodwork PDF or values, if you have them.

Day 1 — Setup

When you sign up, the app walks you through seven onboarding steps:

1. About you — biological sex, age, height, current weight, time zone.
2. Activity — how active you are on a typical day. We use this with your basics to compute BMR and TDEE.
3. Goal — your target weight and how fast you want to get there.
4. Targets — calorie and macro targets (suggested from your goal — you can override).
5. Compounds — turn on the GLP-1 or peptide(s) you take. You can skip this and add them later.
6. Install — install the app on your home screen for push notifications and faster launches.
7. Notifications — pick what kinds of reminders you want.

Each step saves as you complete it. If you close the browser mid-flow, you'll resume where you left off.

TIP

On iPhone, the notifications step is hidden until you install — Apple won't deliver web push to a browser tab.

Day 1 — Log your first day

Log just enough to feel the rhythm:

• A meal — try the photo-of-plate flow with the AI assistant if you're on a paid plan.
• Today's weight — the weigh-in is one tap.
• One symptom (nausea? sleep quality? energy?) — even a single 0–10 entry counts.
• Your dose, if today is a dose day.

Don't try to log perfectly. Half-logged days still produce useful trends.

Day 2–3 — Hit the basics every day

Aim for a streak of just three things:

• Weigh in.
• Log every meal (or at least dinner — partial logging is fine).
• Tap your dose when you take it.

Symptoms, photos, and exercise can wait until you've internalized the basics.

Day 4–5 — Add layers

Once the basic loop feels easy, layer in:

• Symptoms — pick the two or three side effects you actually notice. Tap in a 0–10 every evening.
• A waist measurement — once a week is enough; the trend matters more than precision.
• A progress photo — front, side, back. The first one is the baseline. You'll want it.

If you take more than one compound, set up reminders so you stop relying on memory: see Log a dose.

Day 6–7 — Look at your data

By now you've got enough data for the dashboard to start making sense:

• The weight chart shows your daily entries plus a trend line. The trend is the signal; the daily dots are noise.
• The dose chart shows when you took each compound and how much was active in your system.
• The rolling 7-day budget shows how the week is shaping up against your calorie target — see Rolling 7-day budget for what the math means.
• Insights start to appear once you have ~14 days of overlap between any two series. Check back next week.

What if I miss a day?

You don't break anything. The app uses tracked vs untracked days so missed days drop out of the math instead of zeroing it. Skip a day, the rolling budget shrinks to count only the days you actually logged.

If you want to mark a missed day deliberately (vacation, illness, intentional fast), tap that day's bar in the weekly strip and pick a status.

When does this start being useful?

• Day 1: You can see today's macros and active doses.
• Week 1: Trend line on weight starts to converge.
• Week 2: First pattern insights appear (n ≥ 14 paired days for any two series).
• Month 1: Dose escalation patterns, symptom timing, and weight trajectory tell a real story.
• Month 3+: Bloodwork trends become readable (for the labs you upload).

Common first-week problems

"My calorie target seems wrong." Tap Profile → Targets and recompute, or override directly.

"I can't find my compound in the list." Go to Profile → Compounds. The built-in ones (Tirzepatide, Semaglutide, Liraglutide, Dulaglutide, oral Semaglutide, Retatrutide) live there. For anything else, see Custom compounds.

"My weight chart looks erratic." That's normal. Daily weight bounces ±1–3 lb on water, glycogen, sodium, sleep. Watch the trend line, not the dots. See Trend line and ETA.

"I forgot to log yesterday." You can backdate — tap the date picker on the log page, pick yesterday, log normally. The day will switch from "untracked" to "tracked" once it has data.
