Accuracy of Five-Week Prediction
Replies

When you are at/under your goal it's kinda inspirational to stick with your plan.
When you binged, it's a healthy slap in the face that you best not make it a habit.0 -

That would certainly make it closer, but after doing the same exercise every day for a while, your body would get more efficient and burn less calories doing that exercise.0 -
Oh no! Sucked into a necro thread!0

Some days mine is over and some days it's much more attractive to pay attention too. If your numbers are fairly consistent I'd say it's pretty accurate but I've never actually checked because my days are always so different0

It would be far better if the 5 week prediction was based on say. 7 day rolling average tha. In a single days intake. As it is currently pretty much useless if you follow any kind of fasting routine which includes very low or zero calories on different days0

Like I said on the other thread, if you want that, get a weight trending app: Libra for Android, Happy Scale for Apple/iOS, Trendweight (requires a free Fitbit account but you don't need a device), Trendweight . . . there are probably others.
Weigh daily under consistent conditions (first thing in AM, after bathroom before food/drink, same state of (un-)dress is good). Even the rolling trend is wrong, sometimes. It's still just statistics.0 -
It's not very accurate in my opinion. Sometimes I lose faster, sometimes not at all, and sometimes slower....but I'm not a machine so I don't eat the EXACT same calories every day.0
