Can I add my exercise calories burned back onto my food allowance?

Yes, you can choose between two different diary views – 'Separate' food and exercise targets or 'Combined' food and exercise targets.

Combined Diary View

This is the default diary you are set when you join. It adds any calories you burn in exercise back onto your food allowance. We recommend this option if you do a lot of exercise, as you will require extra calories to fuel your higher activity levels.

Note! Nutracheck sets everyone an exercise target of 200 calories to burn each day. The Combined Diary view deducts your 200 calorie exercise target from your food allowance at the start of the day – we assume you will always hit this target as you are pretty active. This is why you will notice your GOAL is 200 calories less than the Separate Diary view. However, when you exceed your exercise target of 200 kcals, the calories will be added to your food allowance and you can eat these back.

Separate Diary View

This setting keeps your food and exercise targets separate, so you can see how many calories you've burned through additional activity. The exercise calories are not added onto your food target to eat back.

To change your diary view in the app, tap the blue menu button to the right of the search bar > Diary Preferences > Diary Totals.
