Monitoring Water Intake Progress

You can monitor client weekly water intake and goal progress from the Nutrition Center in the Progress tab of a clients profile.

The graph displays 7 days of water intake tracked by the client:

• The light orange bars indicate water goal hit
• Light grey bars indicate water goal missed

Please note: If a client is using an external nutrition tracker (e.g., MyFitnessPal or Fitbit), the Water Intake graph will not appear within the Nutrition Center. ABC Trainerize does not currently import water data from wearable or external app integrations such as MFP or Fitbit.
