Nutrition Targets Unchangable?

I have synced my Cronometer app where I have set my nutritional targets - I’m a Performance Nutrition MSc - but the Sonar targets don’t reflect them. E.g. daily protein at 56 g for a 100 kg body 😂… I’m eating 250 grams per day, and while this doesn’t seem to have affected my score, my wife eating the same grams per kg has a lower score and it’s highlighted overeating protein as one of the targets.
Additionally, my daily calories are recommended as 2500 kCal, despite my daily energy expenditure being around 4000 (which should be pulled from Cronometer).

We're giving some thought to nutritional goal enhancements, but the short answer is that Sonar will not reflect your daily targets on Cronometer automatically. This is because Sonar has no way of knowing whether it should prioritize your daily targets on Cronometer over the targets from another device or app you might have synced.
However, there should be an easy fix for you here in the meantime:
Navigate to the Profile tab > Personalize > Daily Goals
This will bring up a screen where you can customize your daily goal for any metric in the app. Just swipe left on the metric you're interested in (e.g. Calories Consumed, Protein etc.) and then change it to reflect your desired target.
Mind letting me know if that works for you? Appreciate it!

Byron thank you, I’ve changed these manually now which will help for the meantime (I can do an average based on average weekly habits that should still reflect in the average nutrition score for the week).
It would definitely be a big upgrade if it could sync with Cronometer targets if your API can make that work somehow given that they adapt to energy expenditure etc. For CrossFit athletes like myself, the daily can vary quite a bit.
Thanks Byron

William Meddick-Dyson good to hear that will work for you in the meantime. One of our engineers just checked, and Cronometer unfortunately doesn't expose your goals for each metric.
That said, if you have a specific methodology or framework in mind for calculating daily targets, we’d be happy to explore supporting dynamic goal calculations directly within Sonar. Just let us know what you’re aiming for.
