CalBuddy Buddy Alerts Explained

CalBuddy lets you connect a real person by email. That buddy can get automated alerts when you exceed your calorie target, go two days without logging, or log high-processed “junk” food. You can change your buddy anytime. That’s the accountability loop in plain language.

Alert types

Alert	Trigger
Calorie overage	Over your daily calorie target
Missed logs	No logging for 2 days
Junk food flag	High-processed food logged

Why automate?

Manual “did you log today?” texts fade. Automation fires on the slips that usually start a relapse week.

What alerts are not

• Not medical monitoring
• Not a public feed
• Not a live view of every meal detail

Setup mindset

Pick someone who won’t mock you. Tell them what an alert means (“check in, don’t lecture”). Adjust targets so overage alerts aren’t constant noise.
