This seems like a really helpful app, however the BMI, hight, and, Weight numbers might be a trigger for some users.
Harmful information - encourages weight fixation

I downloaded this app and it soon requested that I enter my height and weight. Upon doing so, it calculated my BMI and told me the number. It then told me that I need to see a specialist as soon as possible, as my BMI is technically obese. This is very harmful as someone who has previously struggled with anorexia, as I regained weight so despite being overweight, this weight is healthiest for me. If I still had a bad mindset, this likely would've been very triggering for me to know my BMI as that number was something I fixated on when I was actively anorexic. This app is encouraging fixation on weight rather than fixation on recovery.

I love this because when i struggled with an eating disorder. i think the reason i struggled was because of how i could control what i ate and everything was perfect. well now instead of counting calories this app shows me balance, it shows me how much protein, carbs, and fats i need in a day. Does anyone know how to change the weight or height tho?
