02
Net-carb calculator
Use Own the Dial's simple tracking convention.
OTD convention: total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber. “Net carbs” is not an FDA-defined Nutrition Facts value and other methods may differ.
03
Weight-pace calculator
Turn a start, current weight and elapsed time into a plain trend.
This reports arithmetic, not whether a pace is appropriate for you. Medicines, health conditions and other factors can affect weight.
04
Workout-volume calculator
Calculate load volume for one strength exercise.
Volume is sets × reps × weight. It is one training measurement, not a complete measure of workout quality or effort.
Understand the process
Short guides that answer real questions
01How to scale a nutrition label
Start with the serving size. If the label covers 56 grams and you eat 84 grams, you ate 1.5 label servings. Multiply every listed value by 1.5, including calories, protein, fat, total carbohydrates and fiber.
Do not assume the entire package equals one serving. The FDA recommends checking servings per container and comparing that with the amount consumed.
FDA: Understand the Nutrition Facts label ↗02What each tracked macro tells you
- Calories
- A measure of energy supplied by food.
- Protein
- A macronutrient used throughout the body, including in muscle and other tissues.
- Fat
- An energy-providing macronutrient that also helps the body absorb certain vitamins.
- Total carbohydrates
- The label's combined carbohydrate amount, including fiber and sugars.
- Fiber
- A type of carbohydrate that is not easily digested in the small intestine.
- Net carbs
- An informal tracking calculation. Own the Dial subtracts dietary fiber from total carbohydrates.
03Why the scale moves up and down
A single weigh-in can move for reasons that do not represent a change in body fat. Food and fluid intake, digestion, sodium, carbohydrate intake, exercise and timing can all affect the number.
Use similar weighing conditions and look at several measurements over time. A trend is more useful than treating one morning as a verdict.

For strength work, record the exercise, load, repetitions and completed sets. Notes about effort, form or pain can add context. For cardio, record the activity, duration and any useful machine measurement such as distance, incline or resistance.
Consistency matters more than collecting every possible metric. Record enough to understand what you did and make the next session easier to plan.

Bring the records that help answer your question, not every detail you have ever tracked. Review any export first, remove information you do not want to share and write down your main questions.
Ask about credentials, scope of practice, fees, privacy practices and how the professional will use records you provide. You decide what to share and with whom.

Progress rarely comes from one perfect decision.
Founder Josh Sorensen built Own the Dial from lived experience: losing significant weight, regaining part of it and learning that lasting progress depends on a process you can return to.
The app is being privately tested as a place to log the details. This resource center is here now to make the next calculation, workout or weekly plan a little clearer.

Your entry is sent only to Google Maps with “personal training companies.” OTD does not save it or request your device location.
Directory links and map results are not Own the Dial endorsements. Results may include advertisements or unverified businesses. Contact professionals independently and review their privacy practices before sending personal records.
Own the Dial stores information you enter on your device and, when synchronization is enabled, in your private account. Signing out does not delete those records.
Nutrition-label scanning sends the selected image through an Own the Dial service to OpenAI for processing. The function does not write the image to Own the Dial storage and requests that the response not be stored. Service-provider retention and security policies still apply; this is not a promise of zero retention. Photograph only the label and exclude faces, documents and personal information. Manual entry remains available.
