If every day were like today...

Am I the only one who dislikes that little thing that comes up at the bottom of the daily food log? After it totals your calories, it says "If every day were like today, you'd weigh ___ pounds in 5 weeks." There are two reasons why it bothers me...
1) Some days I am too busy to make food and find at the end of the day the total is somewhere in the 700s or less. If this is the case, it'll say that in 5 weeks I'd weigh a lower weight (kind of close to my goal). I think this can encourage people to develop eating disorders and see how far they can push that expected weight to go down.
2) If I overeat (today the total was 1700) that predicted weight at the bottom can be really discouraging and make people feel worse about their slip-ups and overcompensate later on..
Anyways, just something I noticed... any thoughts?

    Ignore it - it will be different every day unless you eat the exact same thing every day

    Maybe you could use AdBlock to remove it?
