Create Calorie Tracking app w/ health integration

[RKBoss6]

This is just a draft right now, but creates an app for calorie tracking based on #4092, that counts calories burned in a day and splits it by BMR, Active, and total calories. Uses MyProfile to get user health data, and hooks onto health events for new data. Also, modifies health to keep the RHR reading, as it's a better way of getting min hr, and modifies myprofile to use RHR readings in health instead, for getting minimum hr. Keeps minHr, and updates it, just for backwards compatibility.

Check it out at my app loader

Ah sorry - an RHR reading is a measurement of the body's resting heart rate, which is a lot more accurate than the old way of setting it, which was just a guess and check method of entering a number and hoping it's correct. It should help the minHRM value be more accurate for each person in the long run, rather than setting it to 60 and forgetting about it.
To be backwards compatible, it adds a field restingHr and also sets the minHrm value to be the measured value as well, for apps that still use the minHrm field.

This is an assumption. We don't know how the user worked out their minimum heart rate. Right? I may be misinterpretting what you mean.

It should help the minHRM value be more accurate for each person in the long run, rather than setting it to 60 and forgetting about it.

Is it automatically adjusted over time? Otherwise I don't see how it helps against forgetting to update it?

On a broader point. If it's meant as an aided way for the user to work out their minimum hr /RHR to store in myprofile - it sounds like the logic should be put in myprofile and not the health app.

Are RHR and minimum heart rate synonymous? RHR being the common term?

[RKBoss6]

I believe so for this context, but I think min hr is the overall lowest heart rate. What we can do is just store it as two separate variables instead...

That does sound like a good idea, I'll get to work on that!

I think this is good to go now

I'll try to get to this Thursday night but no promises 🙂

No worries!!

Hey - sorry about the delay. I'm testing a (hopefully) much more accurate formula that involves the MaxHr, minHr and Resting Hr, as well as age-specific formulas, so I've put it into draft for now, until that's sorted out. Thanks for sticking by while I iron out a few more kinks in the app!
