# DETAILS SCREEN Once you have defined your settings, you can start using Weight a'Minute to track your weight over time. The place where you enter your daily details is the Details screen. The Details screen can be accessed from most of the other screens in Weight a'Minute.
### Details Screen
The details below can be entered into the Details screen. An explanation of the buttons is provided in some basics. ## What is the date? Enter the date in this box. Whenever you create a new record for a new day's data, this box will be empty. When it is, a small button will appear beside it: if you click the button, today's date will automatically be entered into the box. You will find this a useful time saver if you complete one record daily. ## What is your weight? Write your current weight in this box (or these boxes). The boxes you see here will depend on which units of weight measurement you have chosen to use: kilograms, stones and pounds or just pounds. (You can choose your units of measurement in the Settings screen.) Weight a'Minute automatically calculates your current body mass index (BMI) (as long as you have completed your height details in the Settings screen). ## Have you eaten healthily? Weight a'Minute enables you to record whether you think you have eaten healthily or not every day. It then analyses the data to provide you with a percentage rate at which you are eating healthily: for example, it might say that you are eating healthily 86% of the time. There is an enormous amount of information available at libraries or on the web on what is or is not a healthy diet. The intention of this box is to provide you with a means of tracking, simply, whether you believe you have eaten well. The use of this is in seeing whether particular days of eating well, or not eating well, influence your weight over time: in other words, your weight may go up slightly for a day or so after a meal out or a few drinks. It can be a source of encouragement to be able to account for "blips" in this way. ## How many units of alcohol have you drunk? Weight a'Minute enables you to record how many units of alcohol you consume every day and then tells you how many units of alcohol you are consuming weekly. This can be useful, not just for diet, but for general health reasons. The volume of any specific drink that makes up one unit of alcohol is defined by medical authorities around the world. The volume is dependent on the concentration of alcohol in the drink. Therefore, stronger drinks contain more units of alcohol by volume. In the UK, it is generally assumed that one unit of alcohol equals: one glass of wine; one half-pint (or quarter litre) of beer; one shot of spirit. Please note that this information is intended as a useful guide only. If you want accuracy, please contact the medical authorities or advisors in your own country ## Have you done any exercise? Weight a'Minute enables you to record whether you have done any exercise. It can track three different types of exercise: two which you can label in the Settings screen, and one which you can label differently every day. You can select a label from the drop-down menu (ie the button with the downward pointing arrow) or you can write your own. Weight a'Minute calculates how much exercise you are doing weekly.
