Goals
The Goals tab controls the nutrient targets and ratio goals used throughout FuelLens. Each micronutrient can have a minimum target, a maximum target, or both. Applying a preset changes target values; it does not change which nutrients are visible.
Micronutrient goal presets
The preset dropdown is shared with the American DRI and DGE recommendations reference presets. DEV's Settings is a personal preset created for Florian. It reflects the targets he considers personally suitable after internet and AI research for a 21-year-old, 73 kg male 800 m runner. The targets are intentionally higher than a reference value for selected micronutrients where that personal context seemed relevant.
This is a personal nutrition preference, not an official recommendation or medical prescription. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that higher intake is needed, and individual requirements can differ. The maximum values are the upper limits used in this FuelLens preset where one was configured.
DEV's Settings values
The following values are transcribed from the supplied Cronometer screenshots. An em dash means that no maximum was configured in the preset.

General targets
| Nutrient | Daily target | Maximum | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol | 0 | 3 | g |
| Phytate | — | 100 | mg |
Lipid targets
| Nutrient | Daily target | Maximum | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monounsaturated Fat | 27 | — | g |
| Polyunsaturated Fat | 19 | — | g |
| Omega-3 | 3 | — | g |
| ALA | 2 | — | g |
| DHA | 0.3 | — | g |
| EPA | 0.1 | — | g |
| Omega-6 | 9 | 20 | g |
| AA | 0 | 0.5 | g |
| LA | 9 | 20 | g |

Fibre and sugar targets
| Nutrient | Daily target | Maximum | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber | 45 | — | g |
| Insoluble Fiber | 30 | — | g |
| Soluble Fiber | 12 | — | g |
| Added Sugars | 0 | 75 | g |
| Sugar Alcohol | 0 | 20 | g |
For the Cronometer data source, Sugar Alcohol is part of the default visible nutrient set. Applying DEV's Settings also marks it visible so the goal is available immediately.
Protein amino-acid targets
| Nutrient | Daily target | Maximum | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cystine | 1 | — | g |
| Glycine | 5 | — | g |
| Histidine | 1 | — | g |
| Isoleucine | 6 | — | g |
| Leucine | 10 | — | g |
| Lysine | 3.2 | — | g |
| Phenylalanine | 2.1 | — | g |
| Threonine | 1.8 | — | g |
| Tryptophan | 0.6 | — | g |
| Tyrosine | 4 | — | g |
| Valine | 7 | — | g |
Nutrients with no Daily Target in the screenshots are not included as active targets in this preset. Existing visibility settings remain unchanged except for Sugar Alcohol, which is intentionally made visible by this preset.
Applying a preset
- Open Settings and select Goals.
- Choose a preset from Micronutrient goal presets.
- Select Apply Preset.
- Save the settings when using the full Settings page.
Preset application updates the target values of matching nutrients while leaving macro and ratio settings untouched.
Reference values and interpretation
Nutrient reference values are population references, and the value and its meaning depend on the nutrient, age group, sex, life stage, and the method used to derive it. They are useful context for setting goals, but a preset or logged intake does not diagnose deficiency or establish an individual's clinical requirement. The DEV's Settings preset is personal and should not be read as a research-backed athlete prescription.
- EFSA: Dietary reference values explains the different reference-value types and their intended use.
- DGE/ÖGE: Reference values for nutrient intake provides the German-language reference-value overview and its supporting publications.
- US Dietary Reference Intakes describes the US reference-value framework, including RDA, AI, and upper intake levels.
