    Not a big deal, but recommend displaying energy deficit and weekly loss rate as positive integers. The negative values are understood (implicit) and it is counterintuitive from a UX perspective to hit the “-“ button to increase the loss rate.

    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! You make a great point about the energy deficit and weekly loss rate—it makes sense that displaying them as positive integers would feel more intuitive.

    We'll take a closer look at how we can improve this from a UX perspective. Your insight about the “-” button behavior is especially helpful, and we'll explore ways to make the interaction more user-friendly.

    Thanks again for helping us refine the app. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, we’re all ears!

    Best regards,
    Matt
