Was that a light day or a short log?
A day showing 1,200 calories is either a genuinely light day or a day you stopped logging after lunch. Those two mean opposite things, and no amount of statistics can tell them apart. So the app asks.
Asked once, in the morning
The question comes the next morning about yesterday, when you can still remember. One tap: that was the whole day, or I did not finish logging.
Incomplete days are excluded, not guessed
A day marked short is left out of averages, out of the maintenance calculation, and out of the weekly report’s conclusions. It is not estimated, filled in, or quietly averaged — it is simply not used as evidence.
This is the single change that makes every number downstream trustworthy. An average over days that includes half-logged ones is not an average of anything.
Questions
- What if I ignore the question?
- An unanswered day is treated cautiously rather than optimistically — it is not counted as a complete day of evidence.
- Can I change my answer?
- Yes, and the figures that depended on it recompute.
