Question Assumig to not believe the assumption.

Hey everyone!

Does anyone else use myfitnesspal??
I use it to count calories, obviously.
When I press "complete day" it gives an estimated weight of what you will be in five weeks.
I was just curious as to how accurate that weight is.

Your first post was made at 4am Central Time. Not many people in the US reading the boards at that time.

To answer your question, I do not use myfitnesspal but I would guess that the estimated weight is just a mathematical equation, calculating a certain calorie deficit over time is equal to a certain amount of weight loss.

I don't use the myfitnesspal thing, but a friend of mine uses it or something similar and she says that the weight isn't accurate. Too many other factors play a part like where you are in your cycle if you're a woman, sodium, water, etc. It's just a mathematical equation that should give a guideline, but isn't set in stone.

I use Weight Commander which has a similar estimated weight thingy and I think it's going to be way off the mark. We'll see.
