THE PLAIT GUIDE
Wearable calories: how Plait uses the estimate
Calories shown by a wearable are estimates. Plait uses them as one input to a starting target, and keeps the estimate source visible so you can understand where the number came from.
Use completed days
Plait excludes today’s incomplete activity total from the maintenance calculation. It uses a recent set of completed wearable days when at least three suitable days exist. A day with an unusually high calorie number is not automatically treated as complete. Provider dates and score status matter.
Understand the fallback
With fewer completed days, Plait can use profile information for an estimate. If the information is incomplete, it shows a more general starting estimate rather than pretending to have personalized wearable evidence. Update your profile in Settings and apply it to a newly generated plan.
Check the plan arithmetic
Meal calories come from weighed reference ingredients and 4/4/9 macro energy. A daily total close to the target shows that the plan adds up; it does not prove that the wearable accurately measured your energy needs. Use Progress to distinguish recorded trends from illustrative scenarios, and review whether your selected goal remains appropriate.
