[Accountability] Enable Good Energy Habit tracking in habit loops
Kristen Valentine
Just finished reading Good Energy and I love the actionable plan in Part 3. Dr. Casey Means lays out 25 habits and has you work on 10-11 of them over a month and then continue the journey. I would love to be able to have these 25 Good Energy Habits (or as many as possible) be available for me to track as habits in the app. Then I can keep my accountability tools all in one place and sub out for new habits when I’m ready.
The Levels app has so much of the pieces already that at least some of these should be easily implementable. For example, habits 1 and 3 are to eliminate added sugars and seed oils, both of which are either tracked separately in macro logging or a component in the zone score. Fiber (habit 4) is already there and 30 g of protein per meal is currently a daily goal, but the zone score does reward meals with 30 g of protein, so it’s close.
But it would be great to have some of the other habits in the app that are harder to track separately on my own. Habit 5 to eat three or more fermented foods a day seems doable, but is not in the app currently. Habit 6 is a minimum of 2 g Omega-3 per day, which is also not separately tracked currently. Getting 30 types of different plant foods per week is hard to track on my own, but seems implementable. Habits 9-12 about movement seem doable with activity tracking. If you could get granular about the dispersion of steps throughout the day when importing from Apple Health you could achieve Habit 12 (move regularly throughout the day). Habits 13-14 about sleep are also already tracked in the app. 15-25 would be difficult to do, but 17 (defined eating window) should be easy given we already log meal times.
