Midnight to midnight
Drift
From midnight, resting calories tick away as a negative number. Meals add to it. Movement pulls it lower. At the next midnight, the surplus or deficit is where tomorrow starts.
This is BMR, not a gym-day total. Typical adult range is about 1,200–2,000.
Use 0 to start clean. A negative number starts you already in a deficit.
Samsung Health and Apple Health stay on the phone. A site can’t read them. After you start, you can paste a food list or log meals by hand. Install Drift to your home screen and it opens like an app.
