EvoLogs glossary

A button under one of Evo’s messages, such as “Measure”, “Connect Health”, “Adjust targets”, “Set goal”, “Log this meal” or “Add exercise”. Nothing changes until you tap it and confirm, and a chip you leave alone expires after 7 days. Chips are never counted against a limit.

See: /help/evo-actions

The text field under the Evo card and in the thread, where you type a question and Evo answers from your own logs. Screens with a shortcut add context, such as “Ask about this meal”, “Ask about this session” or “Ask about this reading”. The first question after onboarding is free on every account; after that, Free has 5 questions per 30-day cycle and Pro has 300.

See: /help/ask-evo, /blog/meet-evo

A setting in “Meal schedule”, called “Auto-log planned meals”, off by default. When it is on, a planned meal you have not confirmed is logged for you at its deadline hour instead of sending a reminder, and it shows an “I ate this” chip so you can confirm it.

See: /help/meal-schedule-and-auto-log, /blog/meal-schedule-and-auto-log

The EvoLogs catalog is a shared list of exercises, activities and ingredients. When you describe something, EvoLogs looks in your own list first, then in the catalog, and asks the AI only when neither has it. You can browse the exercise and activity catalogs; there is no food search, the food catalog is only used when you describe a meal.

See: /help/your-ingredient-list, /blog/calorie-tracking-without-a-food-database

A message Evo writes on its own because something in your data changed: a new goal, a new measurement, new targets, Health connected, a plan finished, a weigh-in overdue, your weight flat for a while, or a return after days away. A day with nothing logged gets no message about that day.

See: /help/evo-card-and-thread, /blog/evo-never-scolds

The weekly bar chart in nutrition “History”, one bar per day against your calorie target. Green is within 10% of the target, amber is more than 10% under, red is more than 10% over. Tap a bar to see that day’s meals.

See: /help/history-and-reports, /blog/the-week-you-actually-ate

The 30-day period your AI limits are counted in. It starts on the day you created your account, not on the first of the month, and every limit resets together when a new cycle begins.

See: /help/free-vs-pro-limits, /blog/free-vs-pro-in-a-normal-week

Evo’s look at your day so far, when you tap the refresh icon on the Evo card (“Check your day so far”). The answer replaces the card and appears in the thread marked “Day check”. If nothing was logged since the last one, it says “Nothing new since” and the time. Free 3 / Pro 60.

See: /help/check-your-day, /blog/meet-evo

The hour by which a meal slot should be logged, set under “Deadline hours” in “Meal schedule”. Meal reminders and auto-log both use it.

See: /help/meal-schedule-and-auto-log

Logging a meal by typing or saying it in your own words, like ordering from a menu. EvoLogs splits it into ingredients, estimates the nutrition and shows it for review before you save. Free 15 / Pro 200 text meals; a meal from a photo is counted separately, Free 5 / Pro 40.

See: /help/log-a-meal-by-describing-it, /blog/calorie-tracking-without-a-food-database

The first 7 days of a new account. Free AI limits are doubled and Health Sync works, and a banner on Home says so. After the week, Free limits return to normal and Health Sync pauses with your settings kept.

See: /help/free-vs-pro-limits

How hard a session felt, rated from 1 to 10 when you finish it. It feeds training readiness; if you skip it, a moderate 5 is assumed.

See: /help/start-a-session

Every number the AI gives you: calories and macros for a meal, calories for an activity, effort for a session. It is an estimate, shown for review before it is saved, and you can change it.

See: /help/fix-an-estimate-before-saving, /blog/log-a-meal-from-a-photo

The weight you could likely lift once, worked out from your best set of 10 reps or fewer: weight × (1 + reps / 30). A single rep counts as the weight itself. Each exercise has a chart of it over time.

See: /help/exercise-stats-and-estimated-1rm, /blog/estimated-one-rep-max-and-progress

The companion inside EvoLogs. It reads what you log, food, training, sleep, mood and measurements, writes when something changed, checks your day when you ask, and answers your questions from your own data. It lives in the card on Home and in one thread you open from it.

See: /help/evo-card-and-thread, /blog/meet-evo

The screen that shows your measurements over time: a weight trend for 1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y or All, your oldest and newest measurement side by side, and your progress photos.

See: /help/evo-card-and-thread, /blog/progress-photos-and-measurements

A date Evo sets to come back to something it told you, up to 28 days ahead. When the day arrives, Evo writes about it.

See: /help/evo-actions

The link with Apple Health or Health Connect. EvoLogs reads your sleep and walks, runs and rides when you open the app, and writes your workouts, meals and water. You can also send the last 7 days of EvoLogs data to it. Pro, and on Free during the Early Access week.

See: /help/health-sync, /blog/what-evologs-reads-and-writes-to-apple-health

The sheet you see when you have used an AI limit for this cycle. It shows how many days are left until it resets, with the choice to continue with Pro or wait for your next cycle. Everything you already logged stays.

See: /help/free-vs-pro-limits

One saved set of measurements: weight, height, 11 tape measurements from neck to calves, and up to three photos (Left, Front, Right). Free accounts keep 3 entries; Pro has no limit.

See: /help/log-a-measurement, /blog/progress-photos-and-measurements

A section in workout “Reports” with the training volume of your top six muscle groups over 7 or 30 days. It shows the split; it does not judge it.

See: /blog/what-evo-does-with-your-training

Your own list of ingredients with their nutrition. You add one by describing it (“100g chicken breast”) or by hand, and when you describe a meal, this list is checked first.

See: /help/your-ingredient-list

The paid plan, EvoLogs Pro. It adds Health Sync, Supplements, unlimited measurement entries, 300 Ask Evo questions and higher AI limits per cycle. There is no free trial.

See: /help/free-vs-pro-limits, /blog/free-vs-pro-in-a-normal-week

Logging a walk, run, ride or any other activity in one line, such as “30 min yoga”. You pick the intensity (Light, Moderate or Vigorous) and get an estimate of calories burned. Free 8 / Pro 60 AI estimates.

See: /help/log-a-walk-or-a-run

One-tap shortcuts for food you log often. You create one by describing it or by hand; a described one counts as a text meal.

See: /help/quick-add

The hours in which EvoLogs sends no notifications, on by default from 22:00 to 08:00. A message Evo writes during those hours waits for you on the card.

See: /help/evo-daily-check-in-and-pushes, /blog/evo-never-scolds

A meal you saved to log again by servings. You create one by describing it, by hand, or from a meal you already logged, and you can archive the ones you no longer use. A described recipe counts as a text meal.

See: /help/recipes

How long since each muscle group was trained, shown on Workout home in three filters: “Recent”, “Train Soon” and “Rested”. Back and legs are ready after 3 days, chest and shoulders after 2, calves and abs after 1.

See: /help/read-muscle-recovery, /blog/muscle-recovery-days-not-feelings

A saved list of exercises you start a session from. You can create, edit and reorder routines, and share one with a friend.

See: /help/routines

One workout, from “Start Workout” to “Finish workout”. You start it empty, from a routine or by repeating a past one, log your sets, and rate the effort at the end. An AI estimate of effort and calories for a session is Free 8 / Pro 40.

See: /help/start-a-session, /blog/log-a-workout-by-saying-it

One row inside an exercise: reps and weight, reps only, time, or time and distance, depending on the exercise. Tick it when it is done. Identifying a new exercise with AI is Free 10 / Pro 100; one already in your list or the catalog costs nothing.

See: /help/add-an-exercise-by-saying-it, /blog/log-a-workout-by-saying-it

A meal of the day, such as breakfast, lunch or dinner. Your “Daily slots” appear every day, each with its own deadline hour, and you can add another slot to a single day.

See: /help/meal-schedule-and-auto-log

Your daily calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber. EvoLogs computes them from your age, gender, height and weight (BMR), your activity level (TDEE) and your goal, with protein set per kilogram of body weight, for example 2.2 g/kg when you build muscle. You can accept them or edit them by hand.

See: /help/change-your-targets, /blog/how-evologs-calculates-your-targets

A card in workout “Reports” that compares your training load of the last 7 days with the last 28, where each session’s load comes from its length and effort. It shows one of four labels: “Ready for more”, “Optimal”, “Elevated load” or “Recovery needed”. It needs about four weeks of sessions before it means anything.

See: /help/read-training-readiness, /blog/training-readiness-acwr

A set you mark as “Warm-up” inside an exercise, to keep it apart from your working sets.

See: /help/start-a-session

Your age, gender, height and weight, your goals and targets, and what you log: meals, workouts, sleep, mood and measurements. It never sees your name, email, contacts or payment details. The full list, your consent date and the way to revoke it are in “AI & Data Sharing”.
