Cutting
Cutting is the phase of a training cycle spent in a calorie deficit to lose body fat while keeping as much muscle as possible, usually with protein kept high. IZeat is the record of a cut: every meal said in a sentence, protein and calories per day against the targets the customer chose, and what is left before dinner.
A cut is defined by two targets, calories below maintenance and protein high enough to protect muscle, and both are the customer's. IZeat compares each day to them, shows the remainder, and keeps the sources of every figure visible, because a cut is where a wrong protein number costs the most. It never says whether the cut is going well; the scale and the mirror are outside its record.
Cuts fail at the keyboard more often than in the kitchen: weeks of weighing and searching wear people down before the deficit does. The people who quit trackers say so in their own words, and the time cost was measured at 23.2 minutes a day in the first month of a 2019 trial. Saying the meal instead of typing it is IZeat's whole answer to that, and a cut is the phase where the answer earns its keep.
Put it into practice: Targets and profile.
