    Firstly, I love this app, best I've ever used and needed greatly! I was disappointed to see news feeds or showing five week weight projections are not shown when minimum calories are not met. I understand the concern, however; you are not considering accepted and approved forms of fasting, both intermediate and full fasting.

    My doctor actually recommended that I try either fast as a compliment to my Mediterranean diet. When the app does not consider the fast and doesn't add the numbers or send the news feed with weight projection, there is a notice of encouragement missed and the weight projection can be skewed; so you might consider allowing the app to treat all days in the totals, with maybe a disclosure at the bottom with the warning about insufficient calories.

    agreed. I think it would be far better to consider the projection averaged over time. Ideally that might be a user option to choose for example over the past seven, 30 or 90 days, but even if it was just fixed to the last week it would be much better in allowing for those of us with intermittent fasting lifestyles
