The daily breakdown plot in the Improve screen shows you what proportion of your logged total energy is coming from ultra-processed foods each day over the previous week, starting on Sunday.
To give you an indication of whether your daily intake is appropriate, we have color coded the bars:
Dark green means you have smashed your target
Light green means that you are doing well but haven't quite met your target
Yellow means that your intake is poor
Red means that your intake needs attention
Remember, in the case of ultra-processed foods low values are better!
Example for understanding your daily breakdown plot
The illustration provided below is an example plot displaying ultra-processed food intake over a previous week, based on meal logging data. It's essential to note that this plot is not a reflection of your personal data, but a generic example to aid in understanding your own plot displayed within the Improve tab of the app.
Observations from the example plot:
On Sunday, the intake of ultra-processed foods was relatively low and therefore considered good (light green bar).
On Monday, the intake of ultra-processed foods was low and, therefore, considered excellent, (dark green bar).
On Tuesday, no meals were logged (grey line).
On Wednesday, meals were logged, but none of them were ultra-processed foods, which is excellent (dark green line).
On Thursday and Friday, the intake of ultra-processed foods was too high, which is not great (red bar).
On Saturday, the intake of ultra-processed foods was a bit over the target (yellow bar).
