After creating your account, PT Tracker walks you through a short onboarding flow. The information you provide here is used to calculate your calorie and macro targets, recommend suitable programmes, and personalise the app to your preferences.

What you’ll be asked

Basic details

  • Age and gender — Used for metabolic rate calculations.

Choose the option that best describes your typical week:

  • Sedentary — Desk job, little exercise.
  • Lightly active — Light exercise 1-3 days per week.
  • Moderately active — Moderate exercise 3-5 days per week.
  • Very active — Hard exercise 6-7 days per week.

Select your primary goal:

  • Lose fat — A calorie deficit is calculated.
  • Build muscle — A calorie surplus is recommended.
  • Recomposition — Maintenance calories with higher protein.
  • Maintain — Stay where you are.

Training style

Pick what best describes your training so PT Tracker can tailor your dashboard layout and programme suggestions:

  • Strength / Powerlifting

  • CrossFit / Functional Fitness
  • Running / Cardio
  • General Fitness

Your personalised targets

Based on your answers, PT Tracker calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and sets daily targets for calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. You can adjust these manually at any time from Settings > Nutrition Targets.

Once your profile is complete, you’re ready to choose a programme.
