    151 to 150.2
    My diary is open and I usually eat more protein and less carbs than MFP recommends, even though I'm not doing "low carb."

    Mar 23 - 156.6

    I log regularly and pretty darn accurately (sometimes have to guestimate on eating out, but I am pretty good at it at this point).

    Just warning you that 1 week of data is not significant.

    Thanks. I know this from all the research I have done but as for a quick data analysis and lack of time it is all I have to go with for now.... I am trying to think of a way to do a survey for a month or more but seeing as how the semester is coming to an end I am struggling with ways to find data. There is data online for similar type studies but none of them have specific macros in the dataset so I am stuck with this for now.... Hopefully it will show that further investigation would be worth investing in?

    What do you mean they don't have specific macros in the dataset? Here's a study right here that discusses weight loss with different macro compositions done over a 2 year period with over 600 participants. I found it doing a google search.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2763382/

    I have found many articles discussing studies about this but I need the raw data to run the statistical analysis myself. For other parts of my project there have been raw datasets I've been able to use without having to retrieve the actual data by myself but I can't find the actual "excel sheet" of every single participant and their individual numbers for each variable to run a model for this type of study....

    Is the point of this project just to prove that you know how to run a statistical analysis, or are you actually supposed to be able to make recommendations for future research and applications based on your data analysis and model? Because if it's the latter, just knowing macros and weight isn't going to be enough. You'd have to take into account a person's age, gender, medical history, general daily activity level, exercise (frequency, type, duration, intensity), etc. Each of us sets our macros specific to our own goals and needs, whether it's a training goal or due to medical condition like PCOS. Without addressing those factors in your data, your model isn't going to be of much value.

    I was going to say this. Too many variables, no controls.

    Besides the fact that whether people are logging accurately or not is completely based on trust and assumptions.
