So now that I've gotten the hang of tracking I really like how close I can get to my totals each day, without going over...I got to wondering if anyone has ever had a Perfect Zero Day.

Which of your tracked items: Calories/Fat/Carbs/Protein/Sugar/Fiber most often have had exactly ZERO left available at the end of the day? How many ZERO's have you achieved on the same day?

]I am challenging myself to eat a ZERO's day for fun during the month of January. Planning and cooking my meals will be a great way to pass the deep freeze of winter!


Eat all my calories- win. Eat to get healthy- win. Eat to lose weight- win.

    I think that would not be the right goal for me. I am perfectly happy to come in under my targets on calories, fats, and carbs. Challenging myself to increase my intake to reach zero does not seem like a great idea.
    If it works for you…go for it.

    Normally I would tend to agree with you! But I figure what the heck, if my levels are already set in order to see a weight loss with eating those amounts, it will be a fun challenge to keep the "diet" boredom away.

    I don't define a perfect day as all zeros. I want to see protein, fat and fiber in the red before I call it a perfect day. Those are my minimums. I would go crazy trying to find the necessary foods to get everything to zero.

    I too can't do zero across the board. That would drive me nuts trying to come up with the right combinations, foods, ounces, percentages....

    I like to be under any day but can never get to Zero.

    Wow, so I've worked really hard to not gorge myself with food court fast food, granulated sugar or pop for 3 months and I am relieved and incredibly happy to not feel "deprived" while following MFP goal levels for my age/weight/height/activity level/loss goal. I hope everyone has a realistic view of their "losses" and "gains" while using this app-! You need to eat to be healthy, proper nutrition keeps you at your best, not scrimping and saving, being under your calories- live well, eat well and feel well.

    I've hit 0 days on calories a few times. Its always by coincidence though.
