Goal: Brain

Track brain-focused nutrition, not just calories

BeyondCal helps you see which brain-related micronutrients you’re actually getting, where you’re light during the week, and which foods you already eat that can close the gaps.

What you can track for brain health

All data is from your logged meals

Long-chain omega-3s (EPA/DHA) and plant ALA to support cognitive function.
B12, B6, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, and choline intake against daily targets.
Vitamin D and antioxidant coverage (vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein + zeaxanthin).
Fiber and overall pattern quality that influence steady energy/focus.
Brain subscore inside your Full Potential Score plus weekly reminders when a key nutrient is low for several days.

Common patterns people miss

If you rarely eat fish, check long-chain omega-3 and B12 - plant ALA isn’t the same as EPA/DHA.
If you skip greens or legumes, check folate + iron + magnesium; low coverage shows up after a few light days.
If coffee replaces breakfast, check choline and zinc; quick snacks often miss them.

Practical food and habit examples

2 fish meals/week (salmon, sardines) to cover EPA/DHA and B12.
Spinach + lentils + bell pepper for folate, iron, vitamin C.
Eggs or tofu with greens for choline and B vitamins.
Handful of nuts/seeds for vitamin E and magnesium.
Oats + berries for steady carbs, fiber, and polyphenols.

How BeyondCal helps with this goal

Log meals quickly; the app breaks them into 30+ nutrients.
See daily coverage vs targets and a weekly Brain subscore so light days don’t hide.
Get reminders when omega-3, B vitamins, or iron are low several days in a row.
View “top foods you already eat” for the nutrient you’re low on instead of generic advice.
Track trends over weeks to see if changes (more fish, more greens) actually move the subscore.

FAQs

Does BeyondCal diagnose brain fog or medical conditions?

No. BeyondCal tracks your nutrition and shows intake vs targets. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Which nutrients feed the Brain subscore?

We look at long-chain omega-3s, B12, B6, folate, iron, zinc, magnesium, choline, vitamin D, and antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and lutein + zeaxanthin.

Can I see omega-3 separately from total fat?

Yes. BeyondCal tracks long-chain omega-3 and plant ALA separately so you can see if fish intake or plant sources are covering your target.

Do I have to take supplements?

No. The app shows what you get from food first. Use that visibility to decide with a professional if supplements make sense for you.

How often are targets evaluated?

Daily progress rolls up into weekly trends and a Brain subscore so you can see if you stayed consistent across the week, not just one day.
