I'm a bit concerned about the calorie level I see here, 832/day. That is about 1/3 of the NHS recommendation [1] for males. 1. https://www.nhs.uk/common-healt

- mikedelago 4y agoI agree, but looking at the actual food eaten, it doesn't seem to line up.
- lars512 4y agoIt's typical in calorie tracking that people start the day strong, but then forget or lose will to track later in the day. Ideally days without a full record should be excluded; I'm assuming that's just not happening here.

- lolinder 4y agoNo, you add more calories if you're active. The USDA has a breakdown by age, gender, and activity level [0]. 2400 calories is recommended for an adult sedentary male between 21 and 40. Sedentary is now the norm in the developed world, so it would be weird to use active as the baseline for health recommendations.
