Trend Weight on Alpha Coach

Trend weight is a measure of how your bodyweight is moving. Instead of looking at scale weight, our algorithm predicts your trend weight based on your weight inputs of the past few weeks.

People experience sudden changes in body-weight on certain days due to menstrual cycles, water-retention, gut issues etc. In most cases the weight changes are not tissue weight ( that is they're not fat/muscle loss/gain).

To accommodate such fluctuations we use Trend weight. While on weight-loss journeys, trend weight tends to be higher than scale weight, on weight-gain journeys, trend weight tends to be lower than scale weight.

Looking at trend weight instead of scale weight also helps you get over anxiety around sudden fluctuations in weight.
