Use Your Personal Targets in My Week
The planner separates what you prepare from your personal portion. It compares your planned food with targets, not with a record of everything you actually ate.

Prepare for the household; portion for yourself
Servings to prepare scales ingredients and shopping. My portion scales your planned nutrition. For a recipe with four standard servings, preparing eight doubles its ingredients; My portion of 0.5 still represents half a standard serving.
Plans and intake are not the same
The heading “Planned so far — per person” describes the foods you selected. It does not track what you finished, skipped or ate elsewhere. Keep that distinction when reviewing the day.
Know where a target came from
The account profile provides adult estimates from saved measurements. Account’s personal nutrition target controls also let you enter user-provided goals, limits or ranges. If your care team gives you a target, enter the actual value and choose the appropriate interpretation rather than treating an estimate as their advice.
Missing nutrients mean incomplete totals
When an item has no value for a nutrient, the planner shows a known subtotal and flags incomplete data. Missing is not zero. Do not compare total sugars against an added-sugar limit; the catalog may not have added-sugar values.
A practical example
Planner example: a four-serving recipe prepared for eight requires twice the base ingredients. A My portion of 0.5 contributes half the standard serving’s known nutrients. Enter any clinician-provided targets in Account’s Personal nutrition targets controls; choose Edit targets, enter the value, select Goal, Limit or Range, select Entered from care-team guidance, then Save targets. My Week reads those saved targets.
