Your calorie questions, answered.

How many calories do I need a day?+

It depends on your age, size, activity and goals. Many adults land somewhere between 1,800 and 2,600. Loggah estimates a starting target for you and adjusts it as you log.

Do I have to track forever?+

No. Most people track for a few weeks to learn their habits, then check in occasionally. Awareness is the real win.

Are macros more important than calories?+

Calories drive weight change; macros shape how you feel and what that weight is made of. Protein in particular helps you stay full and keep muscle.

How accurate is photo logging?+

Photo estimates get you close in seconds. For precision, tweak the portion or scan a barcode.

Should I eat back calories from exercise?+

Partially, if you're hungry. Exercise burn estimates often run high, so eating back around half is a sensible rule of thumb.

What if I go over my target?+

Nothing breaks. One day doesn't define progress — your weekly average matters far more.
