Is there any way to create a calorie range rather than a set calorie amount?

    I just wanted to follow up on this question. I am trying to gain some muscle mass and be in a caloric surplus, but don't want the surplus so high that I am "dirty bulking". If possible, I would like to stay within a range of say maintenance level up to 200 calories above my maintenance intake. Is there any way to set this? Or am I stuck just using maintenance, and then mentally allowing myself to get up to 200 above that?

    If you purchase the "Premium" version you can set various calorie goals.

    You could also just use the "Exercise" tab to add additional calories on certain days. Adding exercise adds calories.

    In both versions it's possible to set your own daily calorie goal manually in Settings. If Maintenance is 1800 and you want that 200 extra cushion, you could set your Goal to 2000.
