What is on your plate.
A plate is energy plus three big families of nutrients. Here is what each one gives you, and how NutriXP sets your targets for each.
A calorie is energy.
Everything you eat provides some. Each gram has its value: 4 kcal for protein and carbs, 9 for fat, 7 for alcohol, which NutriXP counts too.
An example?
The app’s sample plate: 38 g protein, 52 g carbs and 11 g fat, so 38 × 4 + 52 × 4 + 11 × 9 = 459 kcal.
Protein keeps you going.
They build and keep muscle, and they fill you up. NutriXP sets your target from your weight: 1.8, 2.0 or 2.2 g per kilo, depending on the pace you choose.
For 75 kg?
At the Balanced pace, 75 × 2.0 = 150 g of protein a day.
Carbs, your fuel.
They are the main source of energy on your plate. In NutriXP, they take what is left of your calories once protein and fat are set. The app also shows you a marker for sugars: 10% of your calories.
Fat, not the enemy.
They support hormones and help absorb vitamins. NutriXP gives them 25% of your calories.
Fibre, often forgotten.
NutriXP sets you about 14 g of fibre per 1,000 kcal, and at least 20 g. Each quarter of your target reached (25, 50, 75, 100%) is celebrated in the app.
Water, matched to your weight.
Your water target depends on your weight: 35 ml per kilo, rounded to the nearest 50 ml, between 1.5 L and 4 L. It is a marker: your real needs vary with heat, activity and what you eat.
On Android and iPhone.
