If you're looking for a nutrition tracking app that adapts to your goals, one of the most important features to look for is flexibility.

Microgram is designed around this idea. Instead of forcing users into fixed targets or rigid frameworks, it allows you to fully customize how you track and approach your nutrition.

## Does Microgram Allow Custom Nutrient Targets?

Yes. Microgram allows users to set fully customizable nutrient targets.

Each nutrient can be configured in one of three ways:

- **Above a target** (e.g. protein > 100g)
- **Below a target** (e.g. sugar < 50g)
- **Exactly at a target** (e.g. calories = 2,000 kcal)

This means you are not limited to a single number. You can define how you want to approach each nutrient, based on your goals.

Each nutrient is configured independently, allowing for a highly personalized setup.

## Choose a Diet Framework or Set Your Own Targets From the Start

Microgram is designed to work for both beginners and advanced users.

During onboarding, users can choose the approach that fits them best:

- High-protein diet
- Mediterranean diet
- Keto diet
- Low-carb diet
- Custom diet

Each option helps shape your nutrition targets in a different way.

For example:

- A **high-protein diet** sets a higher share of calories toward protein
- A **Mediterranean diet** uses a different macro balance
- A **custom diet** lets users fully define their own targets from the start

This means users can either begin with a predefined diet structure or choose a fully custom setup right away.

With the custom option, users can set nutrient goals exactly how they want, including:

- Above a target
- Below a target
- Exactly at a target

For example, a user might choose:

- Above 100g of protein
- Below 50g of sugar
- Exactly 2,000 calories

This gives users a high level of flexibility and control over how they track nutrition.

## A Flexible System Built Around Your Goals

Microgram is designed to support a wide range of goals, including:

- Fat loss
- Muscle gain
- General health
- Nutrient optimization
- Hormonal balance
- Energy and performance

Because you can choose whether a nutrient should be above, below, or exactly at a target, the system adapts to different strategies.

For example:

- You might aim to stay **below** a certain amount of sugar
- Reach **at least** a certain level of protein
- Hit a **specific** calorie target

This creates a level of flexibility that allows users to build a system that matches their lifestyle.

## Pin and Unpin Nutrients Based on What Matters to You

Microgram also allows you to control what you see and track.

You can:

- **Pin** nutrients that are important to you
- **Unpin** nutrients that are not relevant

This makes it possible to:

- Focus only on key nutrients
- Reduce overwhelm
- Customize your dashboard

Your tracker becomes a reflection of your priorities, not a fixed template.

## A Personalized Daily Score Based on Your Targets

Microgram translates your intake into a daily score (0–100) based on how closely you meet your targets.

This score is fully personalized:

- It reflects the targets you've set
- It adapts to your goals
- It updates based on your nutrient configuration

Because each nutrient can be set differently (above, below, exact), the score reflects how well your day aligns with your specific strategy.

## Track More Than Just Calories and Macros

Microgram provides a comprehensive view of nutrition by tracking:

- Calories
- Macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats)
- Fiber
- Vitamins and minerals
- Amino acids
- Fatty acids (including omega-3 and omega-6)

This allows you to go beyond basic tracking and understand your nutrition more deeply.

## Designed for Simplicity and Control

Despite offering advanced customization, Microgram is designed to be simple to use.

You can:

- Log meals quickly
- View a clear breakdown of nutrients
- Understand how your intake aligns with your goals

The focus is on making detailed nutrition tracking accessible and intuitive.

## Why Personalization Matters in Nutrition Tracking

Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all.

Different people have different priorities:

- Some want to reduce sugar
- Others want to increase protein
- Others focus on micronutrients or overall balance

Microgram allows each user to define their own approach, rather than following a predefined system.

## Final Thoughts

Microgram is built around one core idea: **your nutrition tracker should adapt to you**.

Whether you choose a structured approach like keto, low-carb, high-protein, or Mediterranean, or select a fully custom setup from the start, Microgram gives you complete control.

With customizable nutrient targets, flexible goal settings, and a personalized scoring system, it provides a highly tailored nutrition tracking experience.
