Is it possible to get a weekly balance of calories burned, calories eaten, and total deficit for the week through bodymedia? I am only seeing daily totals.

    In your activity manager you can go to "Specific Days" and set it to "Last 7 Days" and see an AVERAGE of all the tallied metrics, but not the total (that I know of).

    That would be really convenient, though!

    Yes :) If you go to the activity manager and to the upper right hand side, above calories burned, you will see a report option and you can choose the report you want. It will show you your daily average for the week :)

    The report is right net to the facebook share button.

    Good luck!

    I've never clicked those buttons before, ha!

    But she doesn't want an average. :\

    The graphs for the individual days are not easy to read.

    It will give you a multiple page document if you click on a summery report and give you graphs and info over 4 or 5 pages :)

    Edit: it is for the week :)

    Nothing I see in my reports says total calories over the week. I only see averages...

    That report thing is cool! It looks like I am eating way too much sodium. I wonder what is too much, especially for someone with Meniere's.

    I see the averages, which is nice, but I need the totals so I can adjust my calorie intake by the end of the week. A lot of times I don't meet my caloric needs for the day during my work week and then I make up for it on the weekend. Without actual totals, it makes it difficult. I might just start a spreadsheet unless anyone comes up with a way to see the totals. Thank you!

    And Mom, 1500 mg of sodium is the max you should go. There's usually 1-2 daily servings of sodium in processed foods. If you're anything like me (which is pretty much the case), you probably retain water if you have too much sodium. I try to limit it as much as I can.

    Just to the right of that report button is the export button. You can export your data as an excel file. You can then manipulate and calculate to your heart's content, including weekly totals if you so choose, in a spreadsheet.

    If you don't have excel (the only Microsoft product I like...), you can use Google Docs, which can open the excel export from BM, and manipulate away that way for free.

    Thanks Chadgard! Hadn't even thought of that.
