Completing your food diary

Do you have to complete your food diary every day? I like how it says the estimated weight you'll be in 5 weeks if you keep on eating the same amount of calories but does completing it have a purpose other than that? I usually don't complete it even though I log in every day.

    You don't have to do anything. That's the beauty of MFP.

    I always click complete because I like the sense of satisfaction and seeing the estimated weight.

    I click complete on the same diary probably like 3 times each day because late night water, it's main use I believe is just for the estimated weight or for automatically announcing your exercise and food diary to your profile and friends.

    It's also nice to get support from your friends when they see what your doing. They can give great advice and a sense of encouragement when it posts.


    Best to you,

    I click complete because it puts a note on my wall so my mfp friends can give me feedback

    It's helpful to complete the food dairy every day, it can predict what your future loss will be if you continue at the same pace. I hope I don't just speak for myself when I say that there are some days when I am over and others when I am under my calorie goals. To see the results when under kind of motivates me to stay away from the late night snacking!

    It helps when you decide to use the Nutrition Reports.
