DietPal sends simple charts so you can see your plan and progress at a glance. Here's what each one means.
Charts you get with your plan
- Weight projection. A line showing your expected weight week by week, from today to your goal date. It's the safe, steady path your plan is built around — not a promise of a perfect week, but the trend to aim for.
- Macro split. A doughnut showing how your daily calories divide into protein, carbs and fat.
- BMI gauge. Where you sit on the standard Body Mass Index scale (underweight · normal · overweight · obese), with a pointer at your current value. BMI is a rough guide, not the whole story — DietPal uses it as one input, alongside your goals.
Charts you get as you track
- Calorie progress (today). How much of today's target you've eaten. Calories remaining show in grey; if you go over, the overflow shows in amber, never red — going over once is information, not failure.
- Water ring. Your water intake against your daily goal, updated each time you log a drink.
- Weight progress. Your actual weigh-ins plotted against your goal line, so you can watch the two lines close together over time.
- Milestone card. A small celebration when you pass a whole-kilogram milestone toward your goal.
Why the numbers always agree
Every chart is drawn from the same plan and the same logged data — so a chart can never show a different number from what your coach told you in text. If a chart and a message ever look out of step, ask your coach and it'll reconcile them.
