Yes, in a few ways. Use Manage Cards to pick which ones show at all, tick off the ones you don't want and hit Save. On the page itself, drag any card by its header to reorder them exactly how you like, changes save automatically. Some cards also have a small expand button in their header that gives them more room to show extra detail. Mix and match all three until your Overview looks like your own dashboard, there's no single right layout, just whatever surfaces what matters most to you.
Your streak is protected. Mark a date range as a holiday in Profile > Holiday and any day you don't log anything during that window shows a holiday badge instead of breaking your streak. If you do still log something on a holiday day, it still counts as a real hit, holiday mode never hides genuine activity, it just stops an untouched day from punishing you.
It's a simple average of four things: Steps, Hydration, Sleep, and Calories. Each one is capped at 100%, so smashing a goal doesn't push your score past what a perfect day would already give you. Calories works a bit differently: it's pass or fail against your target rather than a percentage, so being just under budget scores the same as being way under. One thing worth knowing: if you haven't set a goal for one of these four in Settings, it counts as a 0% rather than being left out, so an unset goal can quietly drag your score down. Set all four goals to get a score that actually reflects your day.
A few likely reasons: the workout may not have finished syncing from your phone's fitness app to Google Health yet, that's a step outside ActiFe, and can take a few minutes on its own. ActiFe itself re-syncs automatically in the background roughly every 15 minutes while you're using the site, so give it a moment and revisit the page. If it's an older workout from before you connected Google Health (or from before ActiFe's last successful sync), it won't show up until you run a Backfill from Settings > Connections, which can pull in past activity. Also worth checking: if your Google Health connection has expired, reconnect it there too.
Only manually-added workouts can be edited or deleted. A Google Health-synced entry has no way to write back to the phone or wearable it came from, so editing it here would just get silently overwritten on the next sync anyway. If you tap into an entry and don't see Edit/Delete options, that's how you know it's a synced one rather than a manual one.
You don't have to type it yourself, ActiFe estimates it for you: calories = the MET value for that activity type, times your saved body weight, times how long you did it, recalculated live as you pick the activity or change the duration. It's our best estimate, not a measurement, MET values are averages and won't be 100% accurate for you specifically. The number still sits in a normal editable field though, so you can type over it if you know better. Overriding it only affects that one entry, your next logged workout starts from a fresh estimate again.
Yes, for supported activity types: running, walking, hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, rowing, or open-water swimming, synced in from Google Health with a real GPS track. Open that entry's detail view and the route is drawn on a map. This only works for synced workouts though, a manually-logged entry has no GPS to show, and if a synced session didn't actually record a track (like an indoor treadmill run tagged as Running), the map section just won't appear for that one.
There's no single right number, and chasing someone else's target from day one is a fast way to quit. If you're starting from a low baseline, set a goal in Settings that's a stretch but realistic, then raise it gradually every week or two once it stops feeling hard. A target you actually hit and build on beats one set too high that you miss constantly and eventually abandon. 10,000 is a reasonable long-term goal for most people, but the number that matters most is whatever keeps you consistent.
If the barcode doesn't return values for your product, enter the name and nutritional information yourself and log the entry as you normally would. Logging it saves that barcode to your own food database, so scanning it again afterward should pull it up automatically.
A product's nutritional info can change as manufacturers adjust portion sizes or ingredients. If a scan looks wrong, correct the values on the Add Food form before logging; that saves them to your barcode database, so future scans return the fixed numbers automatically. Editing an entry after it's already logged won't save the fix, so correct it at log time. Fix it once, and it's fixed for good.
It depends on your goal, whether that's losing weight, gaining weight, or building muscle, each needs different amounts of protein, carbs, and fat. Head over to the Settings tab, set your objective and activity level, then use Recalculate to get suggested macro targets you can apply directly, or enter your own numbers manually.
• Daily Defaults is for foods you eat almost every day: set it once and it logs itself automatically the first time you open the day, remove it that day if you skip it. • Meal Prep is for cooking in batches: build a meal from its ingredients, say how many portions it makes, then log off it over the following days until it runs out. • Fancy a Treat doesn't log anything at all, it's just a quick lookup to check a food's calories and how long it'd take to burn off before you decide whether to actually eat it.
Burned isn't a fixed number, it reflects your actual activity that day: synced steps and workouts from Google Health (or your TDEE estimate if nothing's synced yet for that day), plus anything you logged manually on Activities. A more active day means a higher Burned number and more budget to spend; a quieter day means less. Your deficit target in Settings can shift things too, though once today's target is locked in, changing it only affects tomorrow onward, not today.
It's in My Library, and controls what tapping a quick-chip does. With it on, tapping a quick-chip in a meal header logs that food straight away at its saved amount, no editor screen. With it off, tapping one opens the editor first so you can adjust the amount before saving. Either way, long-pressing a quick-chip always opens My Library and highlights that item.
No, your past logged entries are unaffected. Deleting a library item detaches it from any days you've already logged it on, so removing it doesn't touch your history. Each diary entry keeps its own saved name, calories, and macros from the moment you logged it, rather than looking them up from the library each time. You're only removing the shortcut for reusing it going forward.
Start smaller than you think you need. A big deficit feels tempting for faster results, but it's harder to sustain, saps your energy for workouts, and is the fastest route to giving up altogether. Pick a modest deficit in Settings to start, 250 or 500 kcal a day rather than 1000, and only increase it later once it actually feels sustainable. Slow, consistent progress you can stick to beats an aggressive number you abandon within a week.
