Every "% of target" you see — on the Dashboard micronutrient panel, the Stats screen, your saved library items — is scored against a baseline. By default that baseline is the FDA Daily Value for an average adult. If your plan calls for different numbers (higher protein on a cut, a doctor-set iron target), you can override any of them.
Where to set them
Settings → Nutrition targets ("Customize daily macro & vitamin goals (default: FDA baseline)"). The screen explains it up front:
Daily targets for macros, vitamins, and minerals. Each starts at our baseline (the FDA Daily Value for an average adult); change any to suit your own plan. These set the "% target" shown across the app.
Fields are grouped under MACROS and VITAMINS & MINERALS.
Macro targets
Four macro targets, each starting from the FDA baseline:
| Macro | Default |
|---|---|
| Protein | 50 g |
| Carbs | 275 g |
| Fat | 78 g |
| Fiber | 28 g |
The protein default is deliberately low — it's the FDA reference, not a training target. Most people cutting on a deficit want considerably more protein to preserve muscle; this is where you'd raise it. See how to set a calorie deficit for the muscle-retention reasoning.
Micronutrient targets
All 24 tracked micronutrients are editable, each pre-filled with its FDA Daily Value — for example Vitamin C at 90 mg, vitamin D at 20 mcg, iron at 18 mg, calcium at 1300 mg, potassium at 4700 mg. Change any of them and that nutrient's %DV across the app re-scores against your number.
Only the values you change are stored; anything you leave alone keeps following the baseline, so the defaults can improve over time without wiping your overrides.
Read the disclaimer
These targets are not personalized medical advice. The screen says so plainly:
Not medical advice. Baselines are general FDA Daily Values for a typical adult and aren't tailored to your age, sex, pregnancy, medications, or conditions. Individual needs vary — talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before setting targets, especially for supplements (some vitamins and minerals are harmful in excess).
That last point matters: unlike calories, several micronutrients (iron, vitamin A, selenium, zinc) are genuinely harmful in excess. Raising a target to chase a higher % is the wrong instinct.
Saving and resetting
Tap Save targets to store your changes (it confirms with Saved ✓). To wipe every override and return to FDA baselines, tap Reset to baseline. Your targets sync with the rest of your preferences, so they follow you across devices.
How targets flow through the app
Once set, your targets drive every percentage you see:
- The Micronutrients panel on the Dashboard
- The 7-day "you may be running low" nudge (which flags nutrients below 50% of your target)
- The Stats screen breakdown
- %DV shown on saved library items
