FOOD DIARY HELP PLZ

When you complete your food diary daily and it tells you what you could loose in 5weeks is it just easier to stick to the best day.

What - I'm not understanding your question? The 5 week prediction is if you ate that exact same thing and did the exact same exercise every day for 5 weeks. It likely isn't possible to have 5 weeks of identical days. It's just a thing they do for funsies - I find it annoying since it isn't at all accurate in my opinion.

That's what I thought but it seems to make sense if 1 day of your diary was a brilliant loss over 5 week be better stick to it.Sad I no and boring but nothing else I do is working

If you're not losing weight then you're not eating in a deficit - no matter what the predictor says. How accurate is your logging? Using the food scale for ALL solids? Measuring cups/liquids for all liquids? Using the recipe builder, accurate entries, etc? Being conservative with exercise calories? You can eat the same thing every day or eat different every day - you just need that deficit.

I'm not expert in this. However, I am just taking it day by day. Some days your up some days your down. Don't make this a be all and end all. It's a journey and life style change. Take advice from everyone but only you can decide is right for you.

This predictor is a guide only.
No two days are ever exactly the same.

Weight loss is just math. Calorie deficit equals weight loss

The predictor is meant to be a motivator that says (paraphrasing here) "Hey ... look where you could be in 5 weeks if every day was like today was"

Try a weight trendingapp like Libra or happy scale.

I only pay attention to it on my most sedentary days. Reminds me that I'm eating at a deficit and at the very least I'll lose X amount of weight in 5 weeks. But I agree with @amtyrell track your trends. My fitbit and garmin apps do a great job of this for me.
