    Have to disagree. Your calorie target should be set reasonably, right? So you don't want people to be encouraged to under eat. Why not red = more than 10% over or under, yellow = 5-10% over or under, green = 0-5% over or under. Or something similar - I'm not that passionate about exactly what percentages should be used.

    Hmmm. Maybe the percentages for those ranges should be user-set as well. Our choice how strict we want to be, right?

    Ah, to me, green means 'go', yellow means 'caution' and red means 'stop'. i.e. green means 'keep eating', yellow means 'careful, you're close', and red means 'omg stop'

    Having recovered from anorexia recently, and knowing there are others on the site with EDs, I find the red numbers VERY triggering, and feel a sort of anorexic-like happiness when ONLY I see the "congrats!" green when under calorie goal numbers, despite having "gain weight" as a goal.

    Which isn't good when I'm trying to gain muscle / not relapse into an ED!
