Nope, woefully inaccurate IME.0

Do you mean the 'if every day was like today in 5 weeks you would weigh _____"? What do you mean by 'work'? You probably won't weight that in 5 weeks if that's what you mean. Not because the calculation is wrong, but because the next 35 days aren't going to be exactly like today.

It's an estimate based on that day's calorie intake. But weight loss isn't linear, so no, it's not super accurate. Just keep eating in a deficit and you'll keep losing or gaining according to your intake.0

Haha. Not for me. I eat anywhere from 1600-2500 calories a day with no cardio, so I'm either losing/maintaining/gaining on any given day using that thing.0

Nope. Not even close for me.0

No but it inspires me everyday to workout and finish my day under my goal0

No. First I lost faster. Then I lost slower. BUT I did lose a pound a week on average for 6 months following the guidelines.0

It's just a way to convert calories into a form that people understand. If you over eat by 300 calories, someone might think, "Who cares? It's just one candy bar." But when you see your weight would go up three pounds in five weeks if you keep doing that behavior, it has more meaning.
