Typical Workflow

1. Define the measurements to track: start by creating any custom measurement types your organization or app needs, such as weight, waist circumference, or body fat percentage, using POST /measure.
2. List available measurements: retrieve all created measurement types with GET /measure. These can be shown in your app for selection by users or managers.
3. Record user measurements: add a new measurement record for a user with POST /user_measure. For example, log today’s weight or waist size.
4. Review and monitor progress: use GET /user_measure to fetch and display a user’s historical data or progress charts.
5. Set and manage goal-related measures: if users are following a Nutritional Plan, record their goal-related measurements (like target weight) with POST /user_measure_goal.
6. Clean up or update data as needed: edit measurement names or units with PATCH /measure or remove old entries with DELETE /user_measure.
7. Display insights in dashboards: combine the collected data with Nutritional Plans or Daily Nutritional Goals to show real progress trends, averages, and health summaries over time.
