Insights

Written from the day's own figures

Summaries, trends, a month at a glance, and correlations that are tested before they are shown. Where a relationship is weak, the page says weak.

01 · Daily summary

A paragraph made of the day's numbers

The summary states what you logged, against what limit, and how the day sat relative to the rest of the week. It names the items behind the observation.

Notes are grouped as could be better and well chosen, each attached to a specific food and a specific figure — not to you.

Summary · Wednesday, August 12

02 · Week and month

Compared against the window before it

Weekly and monthly summaries are the same arithmetic over a longer window, with the previous window shown as the delta. Days you did not log are counted as not logged, never as zero-calorie days.

That distinction is why "3 days logged" appears next to the averages instead of being folded into them.

03 · Correlations

Seven questions, asked the same way every time

Run seven tests on noise and one will look significant about a third of the time. Every threshold below exists to subtract that.

Tested over 41 paired days. The rank correlation is 0.11, below the 0.30 floor, and the permutation p is 0.34.

Shown, not hidden. "We looked and there was nothing there" is a result.

Clears every thresholdDays with exercise, and intake

On the 22 days with a logged activity you ate 214 kcal more on average than on the 46 without. Hedges' g 0.62, p 0.0015.

An association between two things you logged. Not a cause.

Not enough data yetSugars and the next day's intake

18 paired days of the 30 this test needs. A gap in the log is treated as a gap, so two days either side of a missed day are not paired.

18 / 30

The card stays on screen. A missing card would read as a bug.

Some obvious comparisons are deliberately never asked. Logging completeness against over-limit rate is guaranteed by construction — fewer logged meals means lower recorded intake whether or not anything changed. Adding it would publish an artifact as an insight, and raise the bar on every other finding.

The seed is a constant, never the clock, so the same logged days produce the same p-value every time the tab is opened. A finding does not flicker between significant and absent because you looked twice.

04 · Month and year

A month, graded on three steps

Each day takes its colour from where it landed against that day's limit: under, slightly over, or over. Three steps, no gradient, no score.

Cheat days are outlined rather than recoloured — they were planned, so they are not a miss, but their calories are still counted.

Days with nothing logged stay blank. They are not drawn as zero-calorie days.

A time you choose, for meals you choose. No nudge for a missed day, no message about a streak.

Cheat days

Set which weekdays get a higher limit. Marked on the calendar as planned, counted in every total, and excluded from the comparison they would distort.
