Food Diary Question

Hey!

I'm only 2 weeks into My Fitness Pal and loving it so far.

My question is: When I complete my food diary for the day and I get my note at the bottom about how much I will weigh in 5 weeks.......does it mean 5 weeks from that day or 5 weeks since starting the diary?

TIA

    It is 5 weeks from that day...though I've never found that calculator to be even remotely accurate. I just ignore it.

    It is saying "If every day were like today"

    So essentially if you were to eat the exact calorie amount you ate that day, with the amount of exercise you did...you would weight ___ amount in about 5 weeks.

    Now that is a rough estimate....It has been more than 5 weeks and I'm not where it told me I would be.

    That's what I thought....thanks.

    I agree.....doesn't seem accurate at all.
