## What is Baseline?

Baseline works out how much you should eat. Answer six quick questions and you get your daily calories, protein, fat and carbs for losing, maintaining or gaining weight.

There's no food logging, no account and no tracking. Your data stays on your device.

WHAT YOU GET
• Daily calories for your goal, with a deficit or surplus you can adjust
• Protein, fat and carbs in grams, from a plan that suits you
• Your maintenance calories (TDEE) and BMR
• BMI with a plain-English note on what it can and can't tell you

ACCURATE BY DEFAULT
Baseline uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is the most accurate everyday formula for most people. If you know your body fat percentage, it switches to Katch-McArdle, which accounts for muscle.

APPLE HEALTH
Fill everything in from Apple Health in one tap. Baseline only reads your data and never writes to Health.

BASELINE PLUS
A one-time $1.99 purchase, with no subscription. It adds:
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Automatic updates when your weight changes in Apple Health
• High protein and Custom macro plans

If you left a tip in FoodSum, Plus is already yours.

BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN
Baseline works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. Open iPhone Duo and your numbers spread across both halves.

Baseline gives estimates, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before making big changes to your diet.
