Calorie Count
Moderators: Erik, Igor



I was just curious, you know the liitle thumbs up calorie coach we all have on our account page. Has anyone seen his thumb go down?

I have never seen it go up. I was thinking - darn - does it ever point up? Oh well - guess you are doing good!

I'd actually like to get rid of the calorie coach.  I don't want to see it.  Even though I'm maintaining a consistent calorie deficit (typically 300 - 500 calories per day), it keeps pushing my goal date back by one day.  It originally said I'd reach my goal on May 24th, now it says June 2nd!  My goal date is actually July 1, but to see that day being pushed back farther and farther is getting me down.  It isn't a big deal, really!  I'm healthy, and I enjoy exercise!

As long as your weight curve is trending down, it will give you a thumbs up.  Just for fun, give yourself a 15 lb increase in your weight log.  You will get the thumbs down.  Further, if you don't input a weight every day, it will push your goal ahead one day (assumes you are staying the same weight rather than going down or up) until that you input your weight again.  Then, based on that data, it will project a new goal date, and push that date forward by one day again until you input another weight into your log...

 

Hope that helps.
