I regularly check my Week View to see how much under I am in calories eaten and exercise.
Is this a good idea or should I be concentrating on daily? I feel really positive if one day out of seven I've gone over but overall for the week I'm under or on target. Am I sabotaging myself?
I'm not sure if you are aware of the maths behind weight loss, but it's reassuring to understand the balance needed to lose weight.
To lose 1lb a week you need to create a calorie deficit of between 500 - 600 calories a day which is best achieved through a combination of eating less and increasing your activity level (which is why you also get the exercise target). It's the overall week that counts. If you do go over on one day, you have the chance to 'pull it back' by adjusting your calorie intake and exercise level for the rest of the week. Keep focusing on the green overall tick in your weekly summary and you'll get there!
