Focus metrics are the nutrients you care most about for a profile — up to 10 of them. They appear in the diary's summary panel and, once set, a Focus Metrics table opens every nutrition report so the headline numbers are in one place.

Choose focus metrics

  1. From the profile's diary, select Profile in the header.
  2. Scroll to Focus metrics and pick a nutrient from the Add metric... list. The list is grouped and depends on the profile's food database.
  3. Each metric can have its own target:
    • No target — Foodzone falls back to the profile's recommended value, and the row shows which one applies (RDI, AI and so on).
    • A target in the nutrient's own unit, for example grams.
    • % energy — available for energy macronutrients such as protein, fat and carbohydrate.
    • per kg of body weight — available for protein. Targets can also be set as a minimum or maximum instead of an exact goal.
  4. Select Save.

Focus metrics in the report

The Focus Metrics table appears right under the report header, one row per metric:

  • Type — where the target comes from: your custom target's unit, or the reference value used (EER for energy, RDI, AI and so on).
  • Intake — the average daily intake over the reported days.
  • Target and % — the target and how much of it the intake covers.
  • Macronutrients without a custom target are judged against their recommended share of energy (AMDR) instead, and the row shows the range with a status: within range, below min or above max.

The full nutrient sections further down the report are unaffected — focus metrics are a summary, not a filter.
