We're excited to announce a powerful new feature now available to all Plus subscribers—Body Composition Trend Tracking. With this update, you can now get a clearer, more accurate view of your body composition changes, helping you understand your long-term progress in a whole new way.
What is the Body Composition Trend Feature?
The Body Composition Trend feature provides a trend analysis of several key body metrics directly in the app. You can access this information through the Body tab, where it covers the following parameters:
- Weight
- Body Fat Percentage
- Muscle Mass
- Lean Mass
- BMI (Body Mass Index)
What makes this feature stand out is its ability to display these trends over both short-term and long-term scales. While day-to-day or even week-to-week changes can sometimes feel random or discouraging, especially when you're working hard on your fitness goals, the trend feature helps you look at the bigger picture. By focusing on the long-term trends of these metrics, you'll gain a better understanding of how your body is truly transforming over time.

Why Did We Develop This Feature?
We built the Body Composition Trend feature to address a common challenge in fitness tracking: short-term fluctuations. It’s normal for body metrics to vary day to day or even week to week due to a variety of factors like hydration, diet, and activity levels. This often leads to confusion or frustration when users don’t see immediate results despite their efforts. By offering a trend analysis, we aim to remove the noise of these fluctuations and give you a more accurate, long-term view of your body's changes.
Here are a few reasons why this feature is a game-changer:
- More Accurate Progress Tracking: Instead of focusing on temporary fluctuations, the trend feature shows you the bigger picture. If your weight increases but your fat percentage decreases and muscle mass increases, you'll know you're on the right track.
- Data-Driven Decisions: With more insightful data, you can make better decisions about your diet, training routines, and recovery plans.
- Increased Motivation: It’s much easier to stay motivated when you can see your long-term improvements rather than worrying about small, daily variations.
How to Use the Body Composition Trend
- Track Consistently: To make the most of this feature, consistency is key. Regular tracking will provide more accurate trends.
- Understand Short vs. Long-Term Trends: Both short-term and long-term trends are available, and understanding them can help you make more sense of your data. Use short-term trends to monitor recent progress and adjustments, while long-term trends give you the overall picture of your fitness journey.
- Leverage Trends to Optimize Your Plan: Use the insights from the trend analysis to tweak your diet, workouts, or recovery process. For instance, if you notice a long-term gain in muscle mass but also an increase in fat percentage, you might choose to adjust your diet to optimize your results.
