With this window selected, you can modify the name, age, height, weight, gender and activity level entered.
Changes (other than the name) will prompt the program to recalculate the nutrient recommendations. The overridden nutrient recommendation values, however, will stay the same unless you modify them directly from the recommendations screen (see Recommendations).
Recommendations
With this tab selected, you may modify or clear previously entered overrides or enter new recommendation overrides.
