Why is happening?

Hi Everyone!


Quick question. Why after entering all my food in the diary for the day, the note at the bottom says "if you eat like today, you should weigh ** in so many weeks. The number they give me had me gaining 4 pds from yesterdays numbers, and I always stay below my calorie intake! Why would it say I'd be heavier today in so many weeks......when I exercised more today and stayed below calorie level?

    Have you updated your weight on the site?

    No, I haven't updated my weight, I actually do not own a scale yet. But I'm wondering why I'd be reported to gain weight when I stay within the calorie range this site gave me when I entered my starting weight and that I wanted to lose 2pds a week. Not sure how that can be.

    It may just be a flaw, maybe it didn't recognize your exercise calories when doing it because my MFP friend had the same problem a few days ago, she said a glitch messed up her weight update so it said she'd gain a ton if she ate like that everyday? Check your goals on the site.

    I am not sure either, but it truly verys one day to the next. you could start a page on a copy cat program and see what they say your intake should be and all. keep us informed Kim

    I think I should be eating around 1500 calories a day, but it always gives me more, and even more when I add my exercise in. I'm trying to learn this site, but I entered my starting weight, height, and goal weight, and also stated I wanted to lose 2 pds a week. When it showed a 4+ pd difference from yesterday to today, I almost choked! lol
    I'm hoping by staying at around 1400 calories and exercising.......I'll lose those 2 pds a week!

    Ty for your responses ladies!

    This site can be very buggy
