I don’t know how the app works

So I’ve logged in my food for 7 days and it still shows 0kg gained. When does it increase? Is it after 2 weeks or a month?

    What? If your weight changes, you have to change the number.

    What do you mean by
    When does it increase?

    You click on check-in to update your weight.

    How else are you expecting that informtion to get to MyFitnessPal?

    Maybe s/he wonders when the calorie goal increases (if s/he is trying to gain weight...)

    If that is the question, then the calories will increase as your weight increases - but you still have to update your own body weight for the app to know it needs to change your calorie goal. Calories will change if/when your body weight changes by more than (I think it's) ten pounds - but only by a few calories, it's not a lot (like around 5-25 calories per ten pounds of body weight if I remember correctly; depending on your total weight.)
