Weekly Nutrition Goals let you set different calorie and macro targets for each day of the week — so your clients can eat more on training days and less on rest days, all managed from one place. This guide covers everything you need to know about setting up, customizing, and scheduling weekly nutrition targets.

To access weekly nutrition goals for a client:

From here, you can view current targets, set new ones, or customize targets for individual days of the week.

When setting weekly nutrition goals, you choose one of two distribution strategies:

The Even strategy applies the same nutrition targets to every day of the week. This is the simplest option — set your base calories, protein, carbs, and fat once, and every day gets the same targets.

Best for: Clients who prefer consistency and don't need different targets on training vs rest days.

The Custom strategy lets you set different nutrition targets for each individual day of the week. Toggle on "Customize specific days" to unlock per-day editing.

Best for: Clients who train on specific days and benefit from higher calories/carbs on training days and lower intake on rest days.

When using the Custom distribution strategy, you can designate each day of the week as either a Training day or a Rest day. This label helps you organize your weekly plan and set appropriate targets for each type of day.

For example, a typical setup might look like:

Select a day from the weekly view, toggle its type between Training and Rest, then adjust the calorie and macro targets for that specific day. A badge shows how many days you have customized.

FitMetrics supports three different macro tracking modes. Choose the one that matches how you want your client to track their nutrition using the Macro Input Mode dropdown:

Track Calories + Protein + Carbs + Fat. This is the default and most detailed mode. All four values are set and synced to Trainerize.

Track only Calories and Protein. Carbs and fat are not tracked or synced. This is useful for clients who find full macro tracking overwhelming but still need to hit a protein target.

Track only Calories. No macro breakdown is tracked or synced. This is the simplest option for clients who just need a calorie target.

You can change the macro input mode at any time from the dropdown in the Nutrition Targets section. The mode you select is saved and persists for that client.

The Adherence Tolerance setting controls how strict the compliance tracking is for your client. It defines the acceptable range around each target when calculating whether a client hit their goals.

Available tolerance levels: 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%.

For example, with a 10% tolerance and a 2,000 calorie target, any intake between 1,800 and 2,200 calories counts as "good" adherence. A lower percentage is stricter; a higher percentage is more lenient.

The default tolerance is 10%. This setting applies across all days of the week.

Once you save weekly nutrition goals, FitMetrics automatically syncs the correct day's targets to Trainerize each day. Here is how it works:

For example, if Monday is a training day at 2,500 calories and Tuesday is a rest day at 2,000 calories, the system pushes 2,500 on Monday and 2,000 on Tuesday — all automatically.

The sync also updates your local FitMetrics database so that compliance tracking and reports always reflect the correct daily targets.

Instead of applying nutrition changes immediately, you can schedule them for a future date.

When you click Save after editing nutrition targets, a modal appears with two options:

For weekly nutrition goals, scheduled changes can only be set for Mondays to ensure proper weekly cycles. You also select a time for the scheduled change to take effect.

Optionally, you can add notes to the scheduled change for your own reference. The goals will be applied automatically at the scheduled date and time — no manual action needed.

When saving or scheduling nutrition changes, you can choose to notify the client. If the client has messaging channels connected (such as Telegram or Trainerize Messaging), you will see options to send an AI-generated notification through their preferred channel. The AI crafts a personalized message explaining the nutrition update.

FitMetrics can generate AI-powered nutrition suggestions based on your client's profile data — including their age, gender, weight, height, body composition, activity level, and stated goal.

Here is the typical workflow:

AI suggestions use real client data from Trainerize, including recent compliance history, to recommend appropriate targets.

Note: AI Nutrition Targets is available on the Starter and Business plans. Users on the Essential plan will see an upgrade prompt when attempting to use this feature.
