I was looking through this app and noticed 4642 Net calories under weekly goal!! please can someone xplain im a little conufused to say the least. As it says 3500 calorie deficit to loose 1lb does that mean as my net calories weekly goal number is 4642 should I lose at least a lb or am I reading this book backwards x sorry if this does not come across understandable to some.

    Your deficit is beyond what your body naturally burns. Yes 3500 calories is a pound so if you have a deficit equal to or greater than that, you should lose that pound. Factor in what kind of food you've been eating though as to how your body processes it.

    As a note, try to make your posts a bit more clear and correct if you can. It's difficult to answer and give you what you want if we can't understand what your saying :)
  • It means you underate by that much--so you SHOULD lose however much you're set to lose plus additional 1+ pounds BUT undereating can cause a stall. Not good. You need to get to your daily target--you shouldnt be "under" your goal at all.

    It depends on when you looked at it - it means that at that point, you are 4642 under the weekly goal which shoudl be met by the end of Sunday.

    If you looked on Monday it would be a HUGE number :)
