Body forecast

Body forecast looks at the next seven days the way a weather forecast does, and points out what tends to happen to you on days like them: the days hunger usually runs higher, the days you usually feel your best, and, if you track your cycle, the days the scale tends to read high. Every line comes from your own logs.

Reading the forecast

• The strip along the top is today and the next six days. Tap a day to jump to it. The dots show what it holds: orange for a day something may be harder, green for an easier one, purple for something good to know.
• Each line says what to expect and when, for example "Hunger tends to run higher for you (the two days before a shot)".
• Based on under every line says where it came from, in your own numbers, such as your average hunger on those days against the others.
• Your shot days are marked, and so is the day your next period is expected if you track your cycle.

What it reads

• Your shot schedule: which days are shot days, and the two days either side of them.
• Patterns in your daily logs: only the ones that held up clearly over your last 90 days, found the same careful way your weekly and monthly reports find patterns. Early hints are left out.
• Weekends: if your weekends run differently from your weekdays, Saturday and Sunday say so.
• Your cycle, if you track it: when your next period is expected, and how your own scale moves in the days before it. That rise is water, not fat. If your period is running late, the forecast says it is due and leaves the days around it out until it starts.
• Side-effect timing: the days after a shot when your side effects have tended to show up.

Which of these you see depends on your plan and on what you track. When two of them disagree about a day, neither is shown. A day with nothing notable simply says so.

How it checks itself

Once a forecast day has passed, each line is checked against what you logged that day, compared with the days around it. If you did not log that thing that day, the line is left out rather than counted as wrong. Only forecasts made before their day began are checked. After a few lines have been checked you will see how often it came true over the last 30 days, along with the latest checks.

Lines about your period are worked out fresh each time you open the page and are never saved or checked. What is saved for checking is worked out without your cycle at all, so deleting your cycle data in cycle settings removes everything the forecast knew about it.

When there is nothing yet

It takes a few weeks of daily logs before a pattern is clear enough to forecast. Log hunger, food noise, mood and energy on your daily log most days and keep your shots logged, and it fills in on its own. The page tells you what it is waiting for.

It also shows on your dashboard as a small card with today and the next two days. Patterns around your period appear on the forecast page itself, not on the card. Move the card or hide it with Customize.
