'''Settings''' is where you tune Loopa to fit you: your units, your body, your goal, your diet, and which trackers you see. Open '''Settings''' from the Loopa health menu. Changes save when you tap the button in each section.
== Units ==
Switch the whole app between '''imperial''' and '''metric'''. Heights and weights flip live as you toggle, so you never re-enter a number.
One setting covers everything you read. Your weight and goal weight, body measurements, fat and lean mass, your training volume and personal records, the fluid you log, your weight history and Raw Logs, the bariatric weight card, and the report you share with a clinician all follow it. Blood glucose follows it too, in mg/dL or mmol/L.
Loopa stores your numbers in one canonical form and converts them for you, so switching units never changes a figure you entered. A 205 lb weigh-in reads as 93 kg, and back again, exactly.
A few things stay as they are in both systems on purpose: blood pressure in mmHg, heart rate in bpm, calories in kcal, and cardio distance in metres, which is the unit the workout logger takes.
=== One measure at a time ===
In the app, open '''You''', then '''Preferences''', then '''Display & Layout'''. Its '''Units''' section has a picker for '''Weight''', '''Volume''' and '''Energy''', and each one overrides the switch above for its own measure only. Weigh yourself in kilograms and track water in ounces, if that is how you think about them. A picker you have never changed simply follows the switch.
'''Energy''' is the one with no imperial or metric side: it is calories (kcal) until you choose kilojoules (kJ). Pick kJ and the calorie figures on your main screens read in kJ, including the fields where you type one in. Loopa on the web follows it too, from the food log to the health report you download there. Home-screen widgets, the watch, the PDF you export from the app for your doctor, and the report a clinician opens from a link you share stay in kcal.
Height, body measurements and blood glucose have no picker of their own and always follow the switch above. There is also a '''Distance''' picker; it is saved, but nothing in Loopa shows a distance in miles or kilometres yet, because logged cardio is kept in metres.
== Profile and body ==
Set your '''sex''' and '''age''', your '''height''', your '''current weight''', and your '''goal weight'''. These feed your calorie estimate and your BMI. Not sure what to aim for? Tap '''Use suggested''' for a healthy goal weight based on your height.
== Activity and pace ==
Pick your '''activity level''', from Sedentary to Athlete, and your '''goal pace''':
- '''Maintain''' your current weight.
- '''Slow''', about 0.5 lb (0.25 kg) per week.
- '''Moderate''', about 1 lb (0.45 kg) per week.
- '''Aggressive''', about 2 lb (0.9 kg) per week.
- '''Diabolical''', the maximum safe deficit.
A live estimate shows your daily calorie target and a projected date to reach your goal, updating as you change these. See [[Understanding calories]] and [[Diet and exercise]].
== Diet and macros ==
Choose a '''diet style''', Keto, Paleo, Low carb, High protein, Low calorie, Vegetarian, Vegan, Mediterranean, DASH, Heart-healthy, Low sodium, or Custom. Your style sets your macro split automatically, or switch on '''custom macros''' to enter your own protein, carb, and fat targets. Each style has its own guide, like the [[Keto diet]] and [[Mediterranean diet]] pages.
== Trackers ==
Turn each tracker on or off to show or hide it in the menu. Keep the ones you use and clear the clutter:
- Food and macros, Water, Weight, Activity
- Vitals, Blood glucose, INR (blood thinners), Measurements
- Supplements and Meds, Cycle, Goals, Fasting
Switch on the '''INR''' tracker and you can set your therapeutic window, commonly 2.0 to 3.0, used only to flag whether a reading lands in range. See [[INR and blood thinners]].
== Reminders ==
Set a quick daily email reminder with your timezone, hour, and quiet hours right here. For water, medication, weigh-in, and vitals schedules with push, use the full [[Reminders]] page.
== Your data ==
Download everything you've logged as a '''CSV''' you can open anywhere, or restore weight, water, and vitals from a previous export. Your read-only '''access and consent''' summary shows your seat and signed agreement.
