Hi! My name is Christine and I have been using the app for one week. I found that I am now eating more food than before I started. I’m staying within the range of calories and eating healthy foods, but I have gained a pound. Is this a normal occurrence for beginners?

    One week is too soon to make a judgment, especially if you started a new exercise routine along with your food logging, if you're someone who has menstrual hormone cycles, if you're finding the whole process stressful, or if you've changed the kinds or proportions of foods you eat. The first three can cause water retention, and last can change how much undigested food you're carrying around in your digestive system.
