Observations

Each observation Calk can show you has a page here: which data it uses, what it means, what you can do next, and the evidence behind it. Choose a topic below.

Weight Trend & Calorie Range

Individual weigh-ins move for many reasons. Calk uses repeated measurements and a calorie range to make decisions from the pattern.

4 topics

Where Your Calories Come From

The weekly total becomes easier to understand when it is traced back to specific foods, meals and portion changes.

3 topics

Protein, Muscle & Macro Balance

Calk separates total protein, protein per meal and protein's share of energy. Each view answers a different question.

7 topics

Fats & Oils

Total fat, fat type and cooking fat answer different questions. Calk keeps all three visible.

6 topics

Fiber & Carbohydrate Quality

The carbohydrate total does not show whether meals contain fiber-rich foods. Calk reads both.

4 topics

Sugar & Carbohydrate Load

Calk reads the amount, source and repetition of sugar in the diary. It does not measure blood glucose.

7 topics

Salt, Water & Potassium

Calk names the foods behind the salt estimate, checks whether drinks were recorded and shows how often potassium-rich foods appeared.

4 topics

Minerals: Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc

Calk can describe mineral intake in the diary. It cannot measure absorption, blood levels or deficiency.

5 topics

Vitamins & Food Sources

Calk can show which vitamin sources appeared in the diary. It cannot measure absorption, blood levels or deficiency.

12 topics

Meal Timing & Rhythm

Calk describes when recorded food appeared and what accompanied it. It does not prescribe one correct eating schedule.

7 topics

Food Quality & Cooking

The calorie total is only one view. Calk also shows how food was prepared, how dense it was and which patterns repeated.

5 topics

Variety, Produce & Plants

Variety shows breadth. Calk counts what appeared in the diary and names the food groups that repeated or stayed sparse.

5 topics

Small Changes to Repeated Meals

A useful change keeps the meal recognizable and changes one part that matters.

4 topics

High Days, Recovery & Consistency

Calk reads the sequence—what contributed to a high day and what followed—without grading you.

13 topics

Alcohol & Caffeine

Calk puts drinks back into the same record as food: amount, timing, repetition and the next recorded day.

7 topics

Suggestions Built from Your Meals

Each suggestion names a food or meal from the diary and the specific gap it could address.
