'''Loopa''' is your personal health and weight tracker, built right into your community. Log your food, water, weight, and vitals, set a goal, and watch your progress add up. This guide gets you from a fresh start to your first logged day in a few minutes.
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice. Talk to a qualified professional before making big changes to your diet, exercise, or medication.''
== What you can do ==
- '''Track food and macros''': search a large food database, scan a barcode, or snap a photo of your plate. See [[Logging food]].
- '''Hit your targets''': daily calories plus protein, carbs, fat, and fiber, with a live progress view. See [[Calorie and macro tracking]].
- '''Stay hydrated''': log water against a daily goal. See [[Water tracking]].
- '''Watch your weight''': log weigh-ins and see your trend, average, and projected goal date. See [[Weight tracking]] and [[Weight forecast]].
- '''Log your vitals''': blood pressure, resting heart rate, and optional blood glucose or INR. See [[Vitals tracking]].
- '''Set goals''': pick targets and track progress toward them. See [[Goals]].
You choose which trackers to turn on, so your dashboard only shows what you care about.
== Step 1: Finish setup ==
The first time you open Loopa, you run a short setup wizard. It asks for your units, height, age, current weight, goal weight, activity level, and diet style, then builds your daily calorie and macro targets automatically. You also pick which trackers to switch on.
Full walkthrough: [[Setting up your profile]].
== Step 2: Meet your dashboard ==
After setup, your [[Your dashboard|dashboard]] is home base. It shows today's calories and hydration against your goals, your weight and trend, your latest vitals, your goals, and a running log streak. A '''Quick add''' button lets you log food, water, weight, or a vital from anywhere without leaving the page.
== Step 3: Log your first day ==
- '''Add a meal.''' Open [[Logging food]] and search a food, scan a [[Barcode scanning|barcode]], or use [[Meal photo AI]] to estimate a plate from a photo.
- '''Add water.''' Tap a quick-add amount on [[Water tracking]].
- '''Weigh in.''' Log your weight from the dashboard or [[Weight tracking]].
That is enough to start your streak. Each day you log, your rings fill and your trend gets sharper.
== Where to go next ==
- Plan ahead with the AI [[Meal planner]].
- Check your vitamins and minerals under [[Micronutrients]].
- Review your progress over time in [[Trends and charts]].
- Learn the basics in [[Understanding calories]], [[Macronutrients explained]], and [[Healthy eating]].
