Clients log what they eat in the app. You don't need to read every meal: the Nutrition section sums up the week and points out what stands out, and you comment on the day it's about.

  1. Open the client’s Health tab

    Open the client and go to Health. The Nutrition section shows what they logged in the app this week. Use the arrows to go back a week.

    At the top you see three figures:

    • Calories on plan: finished days within range of the plan for that day (±10% unless you change it)
    • Protein a day: the average, against the plan
    • Days logged: how many of the seven days have food, and how many were logged as the client ate
    Noor’s Nutrition section in Trainnode: 2 of 5 days on plan, 117 g protein a day against 150 g, 6 of 7 days logged, what stands out and a card per day.

  2. Read what stands out

    Next to the figures, What stands out points out patterns once the client has three finished days:

    • Protein under plan on most days, with Give a recipe next to it
    • Meals that bring little protein
    • Days not logged
    • Days logged in one go, afterwards (from memory, so read them as an estimate)

    Each day card says On plan, Protein low, how far over or under calories it was, or Not logged.

  3. Open a day and post a comment

    Click a day to see every meal with its amounts, calories and protein, carbs and fat, and how the day was logged (for example In one go · 22:40).

    Write your comment in the box and choose Post comment. The client gets a notification and finds your comment on that day in their food log, with Reply in chat under it. Each comment shows Seen once they've read it.

    Your dashboard

    Tuesday 13 October opened in Trainnode: logged in one go at 21:40, 1,373 of 1,850 kcal, every meal with its macros, and David’s comment marked Seen.
