> How to start the food diary, which reports are available, how to edit recipes and speed up daily logging, plus the common question about gross versus net calories across screens.

## How nutrition is modelled

The diary is built on products → dishes → meal entries, with automatic nutrient recalculation.

## Gross and net calories

The workout card shows **gross** — the full energy of the session including resting energy.
The daily balance uses **net** — energy above rest. The same session therefore shows different
numbers on different screens, and this is expected.

## FAQ

### How do I start the food diary?

Create a product or a dish first, then add a meal entry. Nutrients are recalculated automatically.

### Which nutrition reports are available?

Daily, weekly and monthly reports, plus breakdowns by meal type and most frequent products.

### Why do calories differ between screens?

The workout card shows gross calories while the daily balance uses net calories — energy above rest. The difference is expected.

### Can I log workouts without a watch or sensors?

Yes, strength and session workouts can be entered manually. For strength work, adding intensity or RPE improves the estimate.
