How to not take certain predictions to seriously:)

THis is just a whimsical thought experiment. Well, we all know this wonderful little button at the bottom of our food diary entries. When we complete our food intake for the day, we click "Food entries complete" and out pops that little red sentence that tell us: "In 5 weeks you will weigh X amounts of pounds". This got me thinking: What if one day, I simply made no entries at all (zero calories for the day) and then clicked the "Food entries complete" button. Would it tell me how much lighter I would be or would it correctly conclude and tell me: " In 5 weeks you would be dead or hospitalized"?:) Just a thought (tempted to try it even:)

LOL! It would warn you that you are consuming too few calories for a healthy weightloss... something to those lines.. LOL

That is a funny thought.

It would be funny if it popped up a challenging line like: Who are you trying to kid? or Seriously ? LOL

I think it might just tell you a weight!

Yesterday my net calories were below zero and it told me that in 5 weeks I would be below my goal weight which would make me underweight. But it didn't say it was a huge problem, other than the bland 'you are eating too few calories' message that it gives if you end up with net 1199!
