    Well IS every day like today? If you eat the same net calories every day and you aren't losing then maybe you need to adjust your numbers.

    My husband and I laugh and read it out loud, in a dramatic voice, to each other when we close out our food diaries for the day.
    I have never checked it its accurate, or even close.
    Perhaps they will make this feature optional.

    I love closing my diary at the end of each day and seeing that number. Sometimes it will determine whether or not I choose to eat one last snack for the day.

    Read what it says. Did you eat the same things every day and have the same net calories every day? I highly doubt it. The tool is based on simple math. It extrapolates that day's calorie deficit for five weeks.

    If I accidentally close my diary after just having breakfast it will tell me I'll lose 40 pounds in the next 5 weeks because the calorie deficit is so high. That obviously won't happen.

    That number calculates your estimated weight loss based solely on the day's calorie deficit. It has no actual relevance on your real progress.

    I think it would be good if they did a "If every week were like this week......" might give a better idea of where you'd be.


    I agree!

    It IS optional. Don't click the button.
