    I was right on last time I checked, but my calories are all over the place so I thinks it was a coincidence for me. If I skipped a day before or after it was a different number. The only way to know for sure is to have every day the same and that is hard to do!
  • They are basing it on caloric intake. Its really just math, calories in versus calories burned. A pound is about 3500 calories so based on your daily target they can figure out that you will be reducing your calories enough to hit a certain number within 5 weeks. I would say that its pretty accurate that if your follow your daily calorie target you will lose that amount of weight.
