Daily Analysis
On the My Meal Plan screen in the Day View, you'll see a blue box on the left side of your screen labeled "Daily Analysis." This is generated from your Meal Plan for the day, and shows you an up-to-date "recommended" analysis of today's planned calories, carbs, fiber, protein, fat, and sodium. If you swap foods or meals or make other changes in your Meal Plan, they'll be reflected in this analysis.
On the My Food Log screen in the Day View, you'll see the blue Daily Analysis box as well, but it will have added a second column of numbers in orange, labeled "Actual." This column of values is generated from your Food Log for the day, and offers a comparison between your planned and actual nutritional intakes. If you have eaten differently than planned for the day, as you complete your Food Log you'll see any impact updated here.
On the My Food Log screen in the Week View, the blue box changes to an Average Daily Analysis for the week. This shows a daily average for the week's Meal Plan, and a set of actual values showing a daily average for days having Food Log entries (i.e., the average doesn't include days with blank Food Logs).

How are the calories determined
for My Diet?
...............................................................................................
No matter what you've heard, calories really do count in your diet. If you don't eat fewer calories than you burn off, you won't lose weight. It's that simple. The Biggest Loser diet gives you the exact calorie deficit you require for your individual needs, but without making you feel deprived. The formula for figuring out your daily caloric intake is simple:
Your weight x 7 = your daily caloric needs for weight loss
The site makes this even simpler by calculating it for you, and it re-calculates as you weigh in on the site to ensure you're always consuming the proper calories and nutrients based on where you are against your goal. You will also get a daily breakdown of how many calories you should be eating and how much of that is carbs, how much is fat, how much is protein, etc. This information is then reflected in your meal plan for that day!
Will my calorie range change
over time?
...............................................................................................
As you lose weight your caloric intake goal will change. You should think of this as a moving target: in order to continue losing weight at a regular pace, you will need to adjust your calories or exercise more, or both. The Biggest Loser Club site will help you to do this by changing your meal plan and allowing you to increase your daily exercise based on your current weight and goal weight. |
