The daily breakdown plot for plants in the Improve screen is a bit different to the others. In this case we are showing you how many different plants you have eaten up until a certain day in the week, rather than how many different plants you ate every single day.
To give you an indication of how well you are doing against your weekly goal, 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

Example for understanding your daily breakdown plot
The illustration provided below is an example plot displaying intake of different plants 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 above:
On Sunday, no meals were logged (grey line).
On Monday, meals were logged, but none of them contained plants, which is not great (dark red line).
On Tuesday, two new plants were logged, making the weekly plant diversity = 2, which is way below the weekly target (red bar).
On Wednesday, a new, different plant was logged, making the weekly plant diversity = 3, which is still way below the weekly target (red bar).
On Thursday, three plants were logged, but one had already been logged this week,
making the weekly plant diversity = 5, which is still below the weekly target (red bar).The rest of the week, the plant diversity remains at 5 either because no meals were logged or, if there were, they did not contain any plants or any new plants.
