I ignore it.

By "If every day were like today" is based on the number of calories only. It doesn't look at the kinds of foods you ate. It is simple math as others have indicated.
Mine is always way off, but usually it indicates I will weigh more than I end up weighing when the fifth week actually rolls around.0 -
On May 17th I took note of what that little message said..."If everday were like today you will weigh 196.3 in 5 weeks"...five weeks would bring us to June 22nd...on Monday, which was only June 4th I weighed in at 195.9. So I have already reached the weight that it was predicted that I would weigh 2 1/2 weeks from now. :drinker:
How great it would be if it always worked like that! However, as we all know, there are these little things called plateaus...I have sometimes gone 3 weeks weighing exactly the same even though "everday was like today". :grumble:
So no, I don't really pay attention to that little message...it is just sometimes fun to keep track and see how right, or wrong, the prediction was. Anything that keeps me focused on my weight loss plan has to be good.

I read it just because. Everyday is never the same for me. So after reading it I just forget about it.

That thing doesn't make any sense. If every day were like today then I'd wake up every morning weighing exactly the same amount. I could even kidnap a groundhog and drive off a cliff with it and still wake up the next morning like none of it happened.0

I was curious of this. So I actually marked a day in my calendar on June 18th (which was exactly 5 weeks ahead at the time) asking if I was that weight yet. My calories fluctuated from my goal from 50-150 over at times and when June 18th came around I had only missed that little goal by 1.5 pounds over the prediction. To me... I thought that was pretty darn close!0

Well in three years, you'd think MFP would have changed it to "if every week were like this week", which would probably offer a more accurate prediction.0

It actually seems accurate for me.0
