1. Dashboard Summary: A central, visually rich overview of all key metrics and meal planning data.
2. Daily Meal Log: A structured table for entering daily meal details including food items, portions, and nutritional values.
3. Weekly Meal Planner: A color-coded weekly calendar view where users can plan meals in advance.
4. KPI Tracking Logs: Detailed tracking of KPIs such as calories, macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat), hydration levels, and activity levels.
5. Food Database (Reference): A lookup table containing common food items with their standard nutritional values.

Table Structures and Column Definitions

Sheet: Daily Meal Log

This sheet is the core of the meal planner functionality. Users log meals for each day, ensuring structured data entry for KPI monitoring.

Serving Size (g or mL)	Numeric	Amount consumed, in grams or milliliters.
Calories (kcal)	Numeric (Formula-driven)	Auto-calculated using: Serving Size × Calories per Unit from Food Database.
Protein (g)	Numeric	Auto-filled from food database; calculated as Serving Size × Protein per Unit.
Carbs (g)	Numeric	Auto-filled from food database.
Fat (g)	Numeric	Auto-filled from food database.
Hydration (mL)	Numeric	Water intake recorded for the day.

Sheet: Weekly Meal Planner

Formulas Required

CALCULATE CALORIES: In the Daily Meal Log, column "Calories (kcal)":
=VLOOKUP(Food Item, Food Database!$A$2:$F$100, 4, FALSE) * Serving Size
AVERAGE DAILY KPI: In the KPI Tracking Logs sheet:
=AVERAGEIF(Daily Meal Log!$A:$A, "2025-04-05", Daily Meal Log!$D:$D) (for specific date range).
DAILY TOTALS: Sum calories, protein, carbs, and fat per day using:
=SUMIF(Daily Meal Log!$A:$A, Today's Date, Daily Meal Log!$E:$E)
MACRONUTRIENT PERCENTAGES:
=(Carbs (g) * 4) / Total Calories * 100

Conditional Formatting

KPI Performance Bars: Highlight cells in KPI Tracking Logs where values exceed or fall short of target goals (e.g., red for too high, green for optimal).
Daily Calorie Goal Indicator: Format cell background based on deviation from daily calorie target (e.g., yellow if within ±10%, red if over).
Hydration Level: Use color scales to show hydration levels: green (≥2000 mL), yellow (1500–1999 mL), red (<1500 mL).
Meal Planner Cells: Apply icon sets to snack and meal columns for quick visual status (e.g., checkmark if planned, blank if not).
