What Sweatmeal reads from Oura

Activity calories
Your Oura's calories for the day. Oura reports active energy, so Sweatmeal adds your resting burn from your profile to reach the day's total.
Workouts
Each session with its type, start and end time, calories and heart rate where Oura has them. These decide whether today counts as a hard day or a rest day.
Recovery score
Used when Oura supplies one for the day. It is optional.

Sleep is not used. Nothing is written back to Oura.

How it becomes today's target

With Oura connected, the day's energy comes from your device rather than an equation. Because Oura's figure is active-only, the total is built from that plus your resting burn, and Sweatmeal treats it as a good estimate rather than a full measurement.

Your goal sets a daily deficit or surplus, then training cycles it: smaller on hard days, bigger on rest days. If you are cutting and a recovery score shows a low day, the deficit is eased.

Protein and fat are anchored to a fat-adjusted weight, and carbs are what is left: the energy the session earned. Your weight trend keeps correcting the burn over the weeks.

The full logic is on the methodology page: your goal sets a deficit or surplus, the day's training shapes it, and the target never drops below your resting metabolic rate.

Oura questions

Which nutrition app syncs with Oura?
Sweatmeal connects to Oura from the profile screen. It reads your activity calories and your workouts, and uses them to set today's calorie and macro target.
Does Oura give a full-day calorie burn?
Oura's activity data centres on active calories. Where only the active figure is available, Sweatmeal adds your resting burn from your profile to get the day's total, and treats that number as less certain than a full-day measurement.
Does Sweatmeal use my Oura sleep or readiness?
Sleep is not used. If Oura supplies a recovery score for the day, Sweatmeal uses it to ease a deficit on low-recovery days. Without one, the target is simply not adjusted for recovery.
My Oura is connected but nothing syncs. Why?
Oura only shares data for accounts with an active membership. If the membership has lapsed, Oura can refuse the request and Sweatmeal has nothing to read. Renew it, then tap Sync wearables in the profile screen.
Can I use Oura together with Strava or Apple Health?
Yes. A wearable like Oura is preferred over Apple Health for the day's burn, and a workout reported by more than one source is kept once.
Can I disconnect Oura?
Yes. Tap Disconnect next to Oura in the profile screen. That revokes the connection and its data stops syncing.
