burn meter history?

Is there such a thing as a log I could look at to see how the burn meter ranked against the calorie intake for the day? I'm rarely able to get to the computer later at night to see if they're about even by the end of the day. I'm mainly interesting in maintaining, rather than losing, weight and for awhile there was gradually losing more and more weight daily but couldn't make a correlation between the two.

It would be so useful to be able to track this. Am I missing the obvious and just haven't found the feature?

 

Second that request (if it's there, I don't know where to find it).

Currently, you can get a history of calorie consumption, but not a history of burn and deficit.  The meaningful record that ought to point to progress in weight loss/gain is the running history of the deficit (or surplus).

I've been wondering the same thing. But I keep finding new features on this Web site, so I thought maybe I just hadn't found it yet!

Is there anywhere I can post this suggestion so it possibly could be taken into consideration for development?

I really like this idea.  Seems like it would be good to see all in one place, calories eaten, calories burned and deficit.  We are looking for a total deficit per week of 3500 per pound loss right?

I think this is a great idea too! Let me know how you make out. -b

Thank you, MCDerin, for the suggestion!  I have contacted the site administrators using the link. 

I would imagine it would help if all those who like this idea to also do so!

 

Currently, you can do a work around if you have a spreadsheet.

You would have to run a food log and an activity log seperately.  If you want to keep track of your overall calorie consumption, including your non-active activities then you'd have to log those as well so that you would account for every minute of your day.

Copy each and paste it into excel or another spreadsheet program.  You can then use excel to manipulate the data and do your comparisons.

Yeah.  I suppose that's an option.  I'm not sure how the burn meter calculates our "just existing" calories though.  Not to mention  how time consuming that would be for each of us.

As an earlier poster pointed out, there's already a history for calories taken in, would it be so much harder to add the history for calories expended....?
