REPORTING
Medical Report
Build a focused, reproducible report from your nutrition, energy, and biometric data. The Medical Report is designed to give a medical professional a clear overview of relevant observations, trends, and supporting details. It combines tables and charts in one preview and can be exported as a PDF for an appointment or clinical discussion.
The report is generated from the data currently available in Fuel Lens. You choose the time range, content, level of detail, and visual presentation; the preview updates as you refine those choices.
Purpose: Use this report to prepare and share structured information with a qualified medical professional. It organizes your recorded data; it does not diagnose conditions or provide medical advice.
Quick start
- Open Medical Report.
- Select Settings and choose the sections you want to include.
- Select a time period. Use the current range for a recent overview, or enter custom start and end dates.
- Choose whether the report should show lists, charts, or both.
- Review the preview and adjust the settings until the report answers your question.
- Select Export, choose a filename, and use Print to PDF.
The report keeps its settings in the browser, so returning to the feature preserves your preferred layout and selected chart groups.
The chart configuration is editable. In Graph Settings, drag metrics between chart groups, reorder metrics and groups, rename or copy a group, and create custom groups. Changes are reflected in the preview before exporting.
Report sections
You can include or exclude each section independently and change its order.
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Dashboard Overview | A compact summary of key health, energy-balance, and nutrition signals. It can also surface nutrients below 75% of the applicable reference value. |
| Biometrics Charts | Time-based biometric trends such as weight, heart rate, and other recorded measurements. |
| Meals (Average) | Average nutrient values for meal groups, with a configurable nutrient list. |
| Meal Diary | Daily meal groups and their food details. This section is limited to the most recent four weeks. |
| Top Contributors | Foods that contribute most to the nutrients selected for the report. |
| Macronutrients | Energy, protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, sugar, and other selected macro-level values. |
| Micronutrients | Vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients such as sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. |
Configure the report
Content selection
Enable only the sections that are relevant to your question. Drag sections to change their order in the report. For a short review, use the Dashboard, Biometrics, and Macros sections. For a dietary deep dive, add Meals, Meal Diary, Top Contributors, and Micros.
You can also choose whether food items are shown in meal details. Highlighting food items makes the individual foods easier to scan in the preview; it does not change the underlying values.
Time period and aggregation
The report supports the current selection and custom date ranges. Custom ranges require both a start date and an end date.
Each data family can use its own aggregation:
- Daily for day-to-day changes
- Weekly for a smoother short-term view
- 4-weekly for routine and consistency checks
- Quarterly, Semester, or Yearly for longer-term patterns
- All data for a complete available-history view
Use the smallest useful aggregation for a short range. Long ranges are usually easier to interpret with weekly or monthly-style grouping.
Lists, charts, or both
Choose List when exact values and food details matter, Charts when trends are the main focus, or Both when you want the visual pattern and the supporting values together.
Charts can be configured with:
- modern, classic, or minimal styling;
- small, medium, or large chart size;
- default, vibrant, or monochrome colors;
- visible data points and trend lines;
- selected chart groups and a custom group order.
The chart editor lets you activate groups, rename or reorder them, and move metrics into the group that best fits your review workflow.
Nutrient detail
For meal averages and top contributors, select the nutrients that should be displayed and arrange them in priority order. Common choices include Energy, Protein, Carbohydrates, Total Lipids, Fiber, Sugar, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, and Zinc.
Meal Diary supports compact, standard, group-average, and detailed display modes. Enable micronutrients in averages when the meal comparison should include more than macronutrients.
Preparing information for a medical professional
The report is most useful when it gives the reader enough context to understand the data quickly. Choose a date range that matches the question you want to discuss, include the relevant biometrics and nutrition sections, and keep the aggregation detailed enough to show meaningful changes. Add meal details or top contributors when the underlying foods are important for interpreting a nutrient pattern.
Before an appointment, review the preview for missing periods, unusual values, and incomplete imports. You can use the report to support questions such as which trends are worth discussing, when a change first appeared, or which meals contributed to a nutrient pattern. Bring the report together with your symptoms, medications, relevant history, and any context that is not captured in Fuel Lens.
Reading the preview
The preview is a report snapshot for the selected range, not a live clinical assessment. A line chart shows how a metric changes over time; a bar chart compares values across labels or groups. When a chart combines different units, the preview may use a secondary axis so the series remain readable.
Values marked as unavailable mean that no usable data was found for that point or section. Check the selected date range and imported records before drawing conclusions from an empty chart.
Exporting a PDF
Open Export after the preview is configured. The export dialog shows the selected time period, number of sections, view mode, and resulting filename. You can add the current date to the filename and then select Print to PDF to save or print the report.
Before sharing an export, check the date range and included sections. Meal details can contain sensitive information about eating habits, and biometric data should be treated as personal health information.
Useful report recipes
Weekly check-in
Use the current range, daily or weekly aggregation, and the Dashboard, Biometrics, Meals, and Macros sections. Select Both so changes are visible in charts while the list preserves the underlying numbers.
Nutrition quality review
Use a custom 4-week range, then include Dashboard, Meals, Top Contributors, Macros, and Micros. Select the nutrients you want to investigate and enable food details to connect nutrient totals with specific foods.
Long-term trend review
Choose a longer custom range and use weekly, quarterly, or yearly aggregation depending on the amount of data. Keep the report chart-focused and select only the biometric or nutrient series that answer the question.
Data quality and interpretation
Report quality depends on the records available for the selected range. Missing meals, incomplete biometric imports, inconsistent serving sizes, and changing data sources can all affect averages and trends. Compare like with like, keep units consistent, and use the report as a structured starting point for questions rather than as a diagnosis.
For medical decisions, the report should be reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional alongside the underlying context. Do not use the report alone to start, stop, or change treatment.
