Burn Meter Vs. Eat Meter?


Quote  |  Reply

I am new to this whole calorie count thing. I absolutely love it, but I am some what confused. I have been keeping my eat meter below the burn meter, is that right? I am assuming this is the main goal, but I cant find a definite answer!! lol if someone could help me that would be great! thanks so much :)

This is what I found on the site explaining about the Calories vs Burn:

Hope this helps, I found this out yesterday - also new to the site.

These two meters make dieting easy! All you need to do is pay attention to the following two readouts:

  • Total daily intake
    Clearly, it is your goal to stay within the daily calorie allowance, so be careful when the Eat Meter starts approaching the dotted line - that would be a good time to stop eating for the day (assuming you kept the allowance at its default value or higher).
  • Pace of food intake
    Try to keep the number of calories consumed the same or lower than the number of calories burned at any instant of the day. In other words, have for breakfast about as much as you have burned since midnight, and continue with this approach throughout the rest of the day. You should have the dinner at about the time when your Burn Meter reaches the number of calories of your daily allowance. At that point, eat until your Eat Meter reaches its dotted line, and then stop.

 

Thank you! I actually did find that eventually last night lol. It is pretty much what I thought, but I wasnt sure. :)
