[wt-calories]

The following shortcode is only available in the Pro Plus version of the plugin.

[wt-calories] displays a specific calorie figure from a user's calorie intake figures. For more information on calorie calculations please visit our calculations guide.

The best way to explain how this shortcode works is to look at the output of [wt-calorie-table]. This table displays the calorie intake calculations for a user and how it is split over type (meal type / total) and progress (whether to maintain / lose weight):

Taking the table above, you may only be interested in displaying the recommended calories to consume at dinner if wanting to lose weight. This is where the [wt-calories] comes into play. Given that example, you could use the shortcode in the following ways:

 [wt-calories progress="gain" type="total"]
 [wt-calories progress="gain" type="breakfast"]
 [wt-calories progress="gain" type="lunch"]
 [wt-calories progress="gain" type="dinner"]
 [wt-calories progress="gain" type="snacks"]
 [wt-calories progress="maintain" type="total"]
 [wt-calories progress="maintain" type="breakfast"]
 [wt-calories progress="maintain" type="lunch"]
 [wt-calories progress="maintain" type="dinner"]
 [wt-calories progress="maintain" type="snacks"]
 [wt-calories progress="lose" type="total"]
 [wt-calories progress="lose" type="breakfast"]
 [wt-calories progress="lose" type="lunch"]
 [wt-calories progress="lose" type="dinner"]
 [wt-calories progress="lose" type="snacks"]
