How To Understand Energy Balance Trends

Want to know whether you're in a calorie surplus or deficit today - or across the week? The Energy Balance view in Hexis Trends connects your intake and expenditure so you can see how your fuelling strategy is playing out in practice, both within the day and over the week.

Go to the Trends page, open the drop-down menu, and select Energy Balance. This opens the energy balance dashboard along with your current live energy status.

At the top of the screen, you'll see your live within-day energy balance. This shows, in real time, whether you're currently in a calorie surplus or deficit based on what you've eaten and the energy you've expended so far that day.

The main chart displays your daily energy balance across the week. A zero baseline runs through the centre of the chart. Bars extending above zero represent days in an energy surplus, while bars extending below zero represent days in an energy deficit.

Grey bars show your planned energy balance based on your goals and training schedule. White bars show your actual logged energy balance based on intake and expenditure. This side-by-side comparison highlights how closely your real-world behaviour matches your intended plan.

Tap any bar to view detailed information for that day. A tooltip appears showing the date along with the exact planned and logged energy balance values.

Negative values below zero mean you burned more calories than you consumed, resulting in an energy deficit. Positive values above zero mean you consumed more calories than you burned, creating an energy surplus.

Differences between the planned and logged bars reveal where intake or expenditure deviated from expectations. Larger gaps can help you pinpoint days where nutrition or training didn't align with your original strategy.

Below the daily chart is the weekly energy balance section. This gives a cumulative view of your total energy surplus or deficit across the entire week, offering a broader perspective on your energy management over time.

For a clearer view, tap the right chevron and rotate your device into landscape mode. This expanded view makes it easier to analyse trends, patterns, and fluctuations across your training week.
