excellent question. I posted a similar question ([url=http://fatsecret.com/Com... but have not received an answer yet. I find it a little confusing when my daily total is very different from the "how you compare" chart!

:?: :?: I'm not sure I understand how this chart is gathering its information. As of right now my food diary tells me I've consumed 442 calories. Down on the "How do you compare" chart at the bottom, it reports [b][u]1526[/u][/b]! What's going on? I'm so confused!:?: :?:

Body fat percentage is a MUCH better way to track progress than the (what I think is) stupid Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. BMI takes your weight and your height, and assigns you to a category.. not taking into account that muscle is 5 times as dense as fat. You have have lost 5 pounds of fat, and gained 7 pounds of muscle.. you look leaner, your clothes fit better, yet BMI is telling you you're still overwight. So wrong. Anyway.. that being said, I tried out the link above... and it scored me at [i][b]8.8%[/b][/i] body fat. Soooo.... i'm not sure how accurate a test this really is. Granted, I don't have a tape-measure handy and used the string-mark-and-measure method.. so my numbers might be a little off, but i can't believe they're off enough to give me an 8.8% !! :shock: :shock:

[quote=Lotus]you seem to be eating a lot of fast food/prepackaged stuff[/quote] Yeah.. well.. :oops: hehe.. where I work, there are many who will work very late. A few times a week the office supplies us with dinner. Unfortunately that usually means pizza.. or wings.. or chinese. Last night it was pizza. Compounded by my oversleeping yesterday and only being able to grab a doughnut for breakfast.. uggg.. it was all downhill from there :P

Today is the first day for me actually logging what I'm eating. Boy, is it ever an eye opener! :shock:
