The issue is that on the Stronger app if you log in and go to the Home page. There is a query to firebase that is called at onAppear. It updates the values of the selectedWeek and then the view ExerciseView as well pulls in the recent workout information from Firebase. However these values don't get updated until you navigate using the tabs once or twice. My understanding is that onAppear or even Task should both run when the view loads and then update anything. However this isn't what happens.

.onAppear {
            Task {
                selectedWeek = try? await calculateWeeksElapsed()
                print("selected week in summaryView \(selectedWeek)")
                targetProtein = try await getdailyTargetProtein()
                print("Daily target protein intake is \(targetProtein)")
            }
            Task {
                targetProtein = try await getdailyTargetProtein()
                print("Daily target protein intake is \(targetProtein)")
            }

Navigate back and forth between Home and Workout and see how the home page updates after a few switches.
