    Although I'm glad MFP provides these reports, I think providing the results in a graph vs. excel spreadsheet type of document doesn't give a very good picture of your results. Because I'm a numbers person, I took my actual daily results and put them on a spreadsheet over the past month - I can really see where I did well - what time of month I was out on Vacation and not following my eating guidelines.
    It would be REALLY NICE is MFP provided the reports in such a way that they could be exported to a spreadsheet with the actual numbers - not just a bar on a graph.

    Anyway -Taso.... thanks for the reminder to check the reports.

    About a week ago I upped my calories from 1200 to 1300 net. You can't even tell :(
    Mine is so uneven and often below where I should be. No wonder I'm on a plateau.

    Edit: Changed the graph so it's fully visible.

    I love MFPs reports - I often use it to get a picture of how my carbs, protein intake etc is. And I think it's much easier to see that at a glance on a bar chart than on a spreadsheet :smile:

    Net cals I don't look at cos I don't log all my exercise.

    Holy shock.
    Mine was like positive/negative/positive/negative.
    That was intense.

    My 90 day report is almost a straight line of perfection (with one spike to take in the universe's best fried chicken)

    I feel like I'm doing pretty well! I see why I had such trouble losing weight during the end of Feb and all thru March - I wasn't eating enough :wink:

    How do you get the graph of the net calories overlaying the calories eaten on the same graph?

    I took a look at mine and it's all pretty consistent except for one weekend when i went out of town and went nuts. Crazy how it turned out that way.

    With all of you posting, I figured... why not. My screen capture thing didn't get the bars in it, so I did a photo. Dang Firefox add-on.

    The other part that is missing on the right is more of the same. Feb. was when I upped the exercise on top of my running and just couldn't eat that much every day.

    Don't know what happened on Feb. 3rd.... Hmmmm

    I think maybe the first day is just displayed incorrectly. Feb 3 on many of the graphs posted here is negative, even when we are consistently awesome in the rest.

    Wow, I've only been doing it a couple of weeks, but its a pretty wild rollercoaster ride. However, I have posted a weight loss thus far. I need to invest in a good HRM so I can really know how many calories I burn when I exercise and eat accordingly...

    Hope this works, I never eat back my exercise calories, and now I understand how extreme that is :noway:
    Also I can remember that giant intake day - my anniversary and DAMN those jack daniels ribs were soooo worth it!! :happy:
    Some of the ones that go under 500 are pretty scary!

    Just an FYI: The minimum Net cals for a man should be 1500, unless you are quite short. I notice you are under this amount most days. The 1200 is for women
