Table 1.

Percent change in macronutrient intake

% Change
Carb/kcal Sugar/kcal Protein/kcal Fat/kcal Fiber/kcal
All −3.5% −16.7% 6.9% −9.9% 13.8%
Healthy −4.7% −22.6% 6.9% −11.6% 8.8%
Pre-diabetes −2.2% −22.4% 3.3% −13.0% 11.1%
T2D −2.2% −4.5% 12.1% 1.8% 14.1%

Percent change was expressed relative to total calorie intake to clarify how adjustments in macronutrient consumption, specifically protein and fiber, affected users’ overall dietary composition. Although the app recommended reducing net calories for weight loss, it also encouraged increasing protein and fiber intake. By using this approach, we ensured that shifts in macronutrient balance were highlighted without being confounded by changes in total calorie intake, allowing for a more accurate assessment of dietary patterns and their impact on weight loss and health outcomes.
