Personalised nutrition

How do we calculate personalised daily calories? Are meals chosen to fit daily nutrition targets?

Last updated 15 days ago

We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate personalised nutrition calorie targets. Your programs can optionally use this to personalise nutrition targets for your customers by having them complete a "BMR" quiz during onboarding.

The BMR quiz takes the following information:

  • Biological gender

  • Age

  • Height

  • Current weight

  • Current activity level

  • Target weight

  • Duration to reach target weight

We then use the results of this to calculate personalised calorie totals, and from this we can calculate any %BMR metrics you have defined for macros in your program, e.g. Carbs, Protein, Fat.

How do I activate this for a program?

In Smorg Studio, go to Programs and select your Program, and from the plus navigation click "Edit nutrition constraints", and set the Personalised Meal Scaling option.

Can customers change these answers?

Customers can changes these answers in their Profile -> Personal Information settings in the end user app.

Can customers change the calorie totals?

Customers can enter their own calorie targets in their Profile -> Personal Information settings in the end user app.
