Scoring Change!

We have simplified the Nutrition scoring methodology. FOR MOST OF YOU, THIS CHANGES NOTHING!!!

The deviations discussed in our workshop remain the same:
  1. Calorie deviation: +/- 200 cals
  2. Macro deviation: +/- 5%

The math behind the macro deviation is the only thing that has changed. We will no longer be applying it at the gram level which was originally shown in the presentation. Moving forward, it will be calculated at the calorie per macro level, which is what your MFP uses to calculate the 40/30/30. To view a pie chart of your % breakout, head to the MFP app, More/Nutrition and click the Macro tab.

Again, this doesn't change much for the majority of you, but wanted you to have transparent visibility into how we will be scoring you. To see the updated presentation, head to the Viral Events page.

(NOTE: if you were hitting your calorie target exactly, the math would have worked exactly the same...this change in math will ensure that you are still focusing on the 40/30/30 even if you are deviating from your exact calorie goal.)

    At the bottom of the diary page (on thr app) you can scroll to the bottom and see the pie chart breakdown of what you have entered so far. This way you will know if you are heavy on a macro and can adjust in the remaining meals.
