Installing Mobile Coach

Mobile coach comes as a desktop executable installer.  Download Mobile Coach, and double click on the file on your desktop computer while your Pocket PC is connected to your computer.  Then, follow the prompts to install.   Mobile Coach is fully functional for 15 days, and becomes the registered version with entering a registration code you will receive after purchase.

 

The day view

In the day view, you will see the following entries:

Calories: the number of calories eaten on the selected day.

Pro, Carb, and Fat: Grams of protein, carbohydrate, and fat eaten on the selected day, along with the percentages of calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat eaten on that day.

Cal. Burned: Calories burned through exercise on the selected day.

Met. Rate: Estimated metabolic rate; to set up or change the value shown here, choose "Menu" "Estimate Metabolic Rate".

Cal. Remaining: Subtracts calories eaten from the estimated metabolic rate and calories burned through exercise, to show the amount of calories remaining for the day.

The pie chart depicts the calorie distribution for the day, with Carbohydrate in red, Fat in green, and Protein in blue.  The background will be yellow when displaying the current day.

The workouts view, at the bottom half of the screen, shows the day's workouts, and measurements, if they have been entered for the day.  Tap on a workout to edit that workout, or tap and hold over that workout for additional options, such as to delete or copy the workout.  Workouts will display with a gray icon if they have not been marked as completed, and a blue icon if they have been marked as completed.

The buttons across the bottom of this view will perform the following functions, from left to right.

The week view

The buttons in the week view perform the same functions as in day view, except the forward and back buttons advance one week, rather than one day.  You can tap on a workout to edit it, use the buttons at the bottom (or tap and hold) to add a new workout, or use "drag and drop" or the tap and hold "cut and paste" functions to rearrange your workouts.  The current day is highlighted with a yellow background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The month view

The buttons in month view perform the same functions as in week and day view, except the forward and back buttons now advance one month.  Again, the current day has a yellow background.  This view functions very similarly to the other views; use drag and drop and the tap and hold menus to rearrange your workouts, and a single tap over a workout icon brings that workout up for editing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The food view

Tap on "click to add item" to enter a new food for the day.  Entering foods is covered in more depth in the "Entering Foods" section.  You will see the food, servings, calories, protein grams, carbohydrate grams, and fat grams, with the subtotals for the day at the bottom.  You can change to a different date by selecting the drop down arrow next to the date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reports view

Begin by selecting the type of report you wish to see from the top left drop down list.  In the screenshot to the left, "Body Weight" was selected.  Then, you can change the time frame for the graph from the drop down list to the right (in this example, it is showing "Past Four Weeks."  Tap on one of the squares in the graph to bring up a pop up showing the date and the value for that point on the graph.
