Add setting to customize which macros display in properties

   - `YYYY-MM-DD-[journal]` → `2025-11-12-journal`
   - `dddd YYYY-MM-DD` → `Wednesday 2025-11-12`
 - **Goals file**: Specify the path to your nutrition goals file (e.g., "nutrition-goals.md"). The field includes type-ahead file suggestions.
-- **Metadata field names**: Customize the frontmatter property names used for storing nutrition totals in daily notes. By default, the plugin uses `ft-` prefixed names (e.g., `ft-calories`, `ft-protein`). You can customize these to match your existing setup or personal preferences (e.g., just `calories` instead of `ft-calories`).
+- **Metadata field names**: Choose which nutrition totals to display in daily note properties and customize their field names. Each macro (calories, fats, protein, etc.) has a toggle to enable/disable its display in properties, plus a text field to customize the property name. By default, the plugin uses `ft-` prefixed names (e.g., `ft-calories`, `ft-protein`). You can customize these to match your existing setup or preferences. If you only track certain macros (e.g., just calories and fat), you can disable the others to avoid clutter in your daily notes.
 
 > **Note**: When you change the food or workout tag settings, the plugin will only recognize the new tags. Existing entries will need to be updated if you want them included in calculations.
