- Up to 30 days back, from the calendar on the Nutrition tab. Older dates are refused.
- Can I edit a workout?
- No, neither a synced one nor a manual one. Correct a synced workout in the provider’s app and it updates on the next sync. Delete a manual workout and log it again.
- Can I move a meal to another day or change its time?
- No. Delete it and log it again on the right day from the Nutrition calendar. Adjust (on the dashboard feed) changes serving, quantity, and slot only.
- Why did my manual workout disappear?
- A device version of the same session arrived and replaced it. Your notes are kept on the device version. See Duplicate or merged workouts.

- Your own recipes and meal plans, yes, from their page, after a confirmation. Custom foods are deleted from their row under Your custom foods in the food search. Library items cannot be deleted.
