Weird calorie trends...30 day report

EricJonrosh

I'm posting a view of my 30 day calorie report I find kind of interesting (and I'm a nerd). I'm supposed to be eating around 2150 a day. It seems like I start low and progress upward lately, like my body really wants to blast through the limit and pig out, then I compensate back down again. Does anyone see similar "ramps" on their reports?

Are you looking at net calories or calories? The net calories have your exercise in them so if you don't eat them back it looks funny.

It's not net calories after exercise, it's just intake calories.

I'm a numbers nerd too, and actually track my net calories in a pivot table in an excel document (total geek stuff, eh?) I can see how mine goes low and steady over the week then spikes big time over the weekends (considered Friday-Sunday). Now that I know that I really don't worry--I do plan on going over on the weekends and eating well during the week and it does all balance out, or at least I work hard to make it balance.
Do you use the iphone app? That has a weekly report I really like that shows you at a glance on a chart how you are doing that week and it fills in as you update your day. I use it all the time as a quick snapshot of how I'm doing.
good luck!
