How it works

The app smooths your weigh-ins into a trend line to show changes over time. Check-ins use that trend to review your plan.

The app also estimates your daily calorie burn from food logs, weight changes and training. Apple Watch calories appear for comparison and aren't added to your target.

Today

Training: today's workout, or a rest day.

This week: how the week is going so far.

Tap Progress at the top of Today for your weight, insights and consistency.

Your weight trend

    Each dot is a weigh-in. The line smooths those readings to show your weight trend. Compare the line over several weeks to see how your weight is changing.

Your estimated daily calorie burn

Calories you burn a day on the Coach tab shows an estimated range, with a breakdown for everyday energy use and training. Tap it to see how the app calculated it.

The calculation starts with a formula. After about three weeks, with enough food logs and weigh-ins, it can use your records to refine the estimate.

Apple Health

  1. Connect Apple Health

    Tap Connect Apple Health. The app reads your weight, height, body measurements and workouts, and your Apple Watch's daily energy. Weights from your scale sync on their own.

    Apple Health is read on your phone. Only the weights you import are saved to your Good Enough account.

    In the appSettings › Apple Health

    The Apple Health settings screen with the connection status and Write back to Health switches for Workouts and Meals.
    Choose what syncs with Apple Health.
  2. Write back to Health, if you want

    Under Write back to Health, turn on Workouts, Meals or both. Workouts appear without a calorie number. Meals include calories, protein, carbs and fat. Both stay off until you turn them on.
