Schematic Overview: Sheet Structure
The template is organized into four distinct sheets to ensure clarity, ease of use, and maximum functionality:
- 1. Client Overview (Main Dashboard): A summary sheet presenting key client metrics and meal plan highlights.

Table Structures and Data Definitions

Sheet 3: Nutritional Analysis & Tracking
This sheet consolidates all meal data to generate macro and calorie reports:
| Column Header | Data Type | Description & Formula Use Case |

- AVERAGE: Calculate average daily calorie intake across the week.
- DATEDIF: Optional: To calculate duration of client engagement if multiple reports are stored.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight key performance indicators, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
