Set up Intake
The first time you open Intake, it asks for your goal and your body data and works out your daily target from them. You can change all of it later in Settings.
What Intake asks, and why:
- Your goal: “Lose weight”, “Maintain weight” or “Gain weight”. It decides whether your daily target sits below or above what you burn, see Calorie goal.
- Apple Health or Health Connect: If you connect it, Intake fills in your body data, and later your steps and workouts count too. You can skip this, see Connect your health app.
- About you: Your sex, birthday, height, weight and activity level. Intake works out what you burn from them, see Body data.
- Your daily target: At the end, Intake shows the result. Tap “Start tracking” to begin.
