Getting Your Weight Prediction

Getting Your Weight Prediction

The “Complete Diary” feature on your Food Diary screen offers a five-week projection of your weight change, using your current weight as a starting point, and assuming that each diary day for the next five weeks will be just like the day you are completing.

Please note, this is only an estimate used for motivational purposes. Weight loss varies for each. Many users report that they have lost more weight than projected, while some lose less.

Note: This feature is most accurate when you have logged all of your entries for the day.

Remember that weight loss is a payoff for adequately fueling your body, which should be your priority. Weight predictions are only meant to keep you motivated after you’re happy and proud of your food choices for a day.

If you start relying on this feature too often, or if you get feelings of anxiety or stress when getting this prediction, stop using this feature. If you feel you may be suffering from an eating disorder, we encourage you to seek help. More information and links to resources can be found here.

Nutrition Guidelines

Based on guidance from the National Institute of Health and other experts and resources, we do not calculate daily calorie goals of less than 1200 calories for women, or 1500 calories for men. Based on the food logged on a given day, the following thresholds are applied when you mark your Diary as completed:

1200+ calories (women) or 1500+ calories (men)

  • 5-week projected weight is calculated

  • Diary Complete news feed card is posted (if this option is active)

1000-1199 calories (women) or 1200-1499 calories (men)

  • 5-week projected weight is calculated

  • Diary Complete news feed card is posted

  • A message alerting the user about possible under-eating is presented

Fewer than 1000 calories (women) or fewer than 1200 calories (men)

  • A message alerting the user about possible under-eating is presented

  • Projected weight is not calculated

  • News feed card is not posted
