UTC creation windows. Protein estimates restricted to 0–250 g per log. Meal-weighted, not person-weighted. Missing logs and automated estimates limit interpretation. Source labels are AI/user-entered and not validated. Small cohorts are omitted, so groups may not sum to totals. These are observational logging patterns, not measured diets or outcomes.","window_start":"2026-09-14T00:00:00+00:00","minimum_records":100,"minimum_contributors":20,"window_end_exclusive":"2026-10-12T00:00:00+00:00","previous_window_start":"2026-08-17T00:00:00+00:00"}
