Tracking Dashboard

Your daily nutrition command centre. View meals, track macros and micronutrients, and monitor trends over time. Available on web, iOS, and Android.

Two View Modes

The tracking dashboard has two modes, switchable with a toggle at the top of the page:

Daily Summary

A detailed breakdown of a single day: what you ate, your macro and micronutrient totals vs targets, and a data quality indicator showing how much of your intake has been verified by reconciliation.

Graph View

Trend charts showing your nutrition over 30 days, 90 days, or a custom date range. Each data point includes uncertainty bands that narrow over time as reconciliation improves accuracy — this is the "sandwich effect" where your true intake is squeezed into a tighter range.

Daily Summary

Date Navigation

Use the left and right arrows to move between days. The current date shows a green "Today" badge; past dates show how many days ago they were. You cannot navigate to future dates.

Nutrition Summary

The daily nutrition card shows your intake for four macronutrients — calories, protein, carbs, and fat — each displayed as a progress bar against your daily target. Each value includes an uncertainty range (e.g., 1,850 ± 45 kcal) that reflects the statistical confidence in your logged data.

Uncertainty Bands

Unlike other trackers that show a single number, Eatomate shows your intake as a range. This is honest reporting — no nutrition tracker can know your exact intake. The uncertainty narrows as you weigh more meals and as weekly reconciliation verifies your data.

Micronutrients

Below the macro summary, a micronutrients card tracks 27 vitamins and minerals including:

Vitamins

A, C, D, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12

Minerals

Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine

Plus fibre, sugar, and saturated fat tracking.

Meal List

All meals logged for the selected day are listed with their individual nutrition breakdown. Meals are logged via the mobile apps (photo scan) and appear here automatically.

Reconciliation Badge

At the bottom of the daily summary, a data quality badge shows what percentage of your daily intake has been verified by reconciliation. 100% means every ingredient in every meal has been cross-checked against your pantry purchases — this is when accuracy is highest.

Graph View

The graph view shows nutrition trends over time with two available time windows:

  • •30 days — Default view, ideal for seeing weekly patterns and recent progress
  • •90 days — Longer-term view showing your full accuracy improvement journey
  • •Custom — Select any date range for targeted analysis

Each chart plots your daily intake with upper and lower uncertainty bounds. You can switch between calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Goal lines are overlaid so you can see at a glance whether you're consistently hitting your targets.

Why No 7-Day View?

Eatomate guarantees weekly accuracy, not daily. A single day's data can have significant variance (a heavy restaurant meal, a skipped lunch), but the Central Limit Theorem ensures that weekly averages converge to your true intake. The 30-day minimum window shows enough weekly cycles to be meaningful.

Accessing Tracking

Web App

Navigate to "Tracking" from the dashboard sidebar. Both daily summary and graph views are available with full nutrition detail.

iOS & Android

Tap "Tracking" in the bottom navigation bar. The same daily summary, graph views, and micronutrient tracking are available in a mobile-optimised layout.

Pro Tips

  • ✓Check the reconciliation badge — Higher percentages mean more reliable data for that day
  • ✓Use the 90-day graph view — It shows the full accuracy improvement journey as uncertainty bands narrow
  • ✓Focus on weekly averages, not daily numbers — A single day can vary, but weekly patterns reveal your true habits
  • ✓Track micronutrients for health — Macros show calories, but micronutrients show nutritional quality
