Set up your profile, choose your calorie formula, connect Apple Health, and log your first entry.
Tap the Settings icon in the bottom navigation bar.
Enter your age, height, sex, and activity level. These are used to calculate your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) — the baseline calories your body burns at rest.
Settings → Calorie Target → choose Mifflin-St Jeor (default), Harris-Benedict, Katch-McArdle, or Manual Target. Each formula uses a slightly different calculation — choose the one you trust or have used before. You can change it at any time.
Settings → Deficit Calculation → toggle "Include workout calories." When on, logged workout calories increase your daily deficit (you can eat more). When off, your deficit is based on RMR alone.
On first launch, Daily Mind and Body will ask for Apple Health permission. Grant access to workouts and step count to enable automatic workout import.
iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Daily Mind and Body. You can grant or revoke access at any time.
The + button opens the logging menu. Choose Food, Drink, Exercise, Weight, or Mind.
For food, search by name or tap the barcode icon to scan a packaged food. For exercise, choose a workout type and enter duration.
Review the entry and tap Save. Your daily summary updates immediately.
Long-press until icons wiggle, then tap the + button in the top corner.
Find the app in the widget picker, choose your preferred size, and tap Add Widget.
