If your calorie target shifted since last week, that is not an error — it is the plan working correctly. Your target is not fixed to your starting body. Each week, AlterMe recalculates based on where you are now:
Your new weight changes your BMR — a lighter body burns fewer calories at rest
Your new BMR changes your total daily energy expenditure — your total daily burn adjusts downward
Your new total daily burn changes your active calorie pool — the deficit is drawn from a slightly smaller number
Your updated BMI fine-tunes the safe deficit rate for your current body composition
The result is a calorie target that stays appropriate for the body you have today, not the one you started with.
Why this matters
A fixed calorie target gradually becomes inaccurate. As you lose weight, your body burns less. If your intake target stayed the same, your actual deficit would quietly shrink — and your progress would slow without any obvious reason. The weekly recalculation keeps the math honest.
What this feels like in practice
Early in your plan the changes are most noticeable. As you approach your goal weight, the adjustments become smaller. The final week of your plan recalibrates precisely to land you at your target — not overshoot it.
Get the most accurate calorie goals
Your biometric ring captures a lot — but what you eat, how you move, and how you describe your lifestyle are things only you can provide. The more accurately AlterMe understands your daily life, the more precise your prescription becomes.
Update your weight bi-weekly — your calorie target recalculates from your current weight each week. Stale data means stale numbers.
Verify your activity level — this single setting has the biggest impact on your daily target. If your routine has changed, update it.
Log your meals and snacks — every entry helps AlterMe understand your intake patterns and keep your targets aligned with reality.
Log off-screen workouts in the AlterMe app — any exercise you do outside of guided AlterMe sessions will not be captured automatically. Logging it manually keeps your burn accurate.
The goal is to give AlterMe the most accurate snapshot of your daily life outside of your biometrics — that is what turns a good plan into the right one for you.
