  • Is FITDAY accurate?

    Hi everyone! I started Atkins 2 weeks ago and i registered for fit day yesterday. i have to say that I am 5'7 and 215lbs and i've been eating around 1900-2100 cals and my ratios have been good but the calories seem to high! i know there is much discussion on whether calories matter or not on Atkins but regardless of what diet i am i would think that 2000 calories would be way too much for my height each day considering my amount of movement.

    anyway - here is my question/concern: on Fitday the section which gives reports still says that i am burning more than i am taking in by a good amount. so i decide to see how much i would have to eat before i wouldnt be burning enough. i typed in a slice of pizza and 2 cups of ice cream and it still said im burning more than im taking in! granted this was on the 1900 calorie day but still!

    any thoughts?

    But how many carbs wuld there have been in your menu if you had just relied on calories and eaten them? Well over the 20 allowed I imagine!!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      Chowder, most people are shocked when they start tracking their food and discover exactly how much they're eating. I've seen articles stating that people typically underestimate their caloric intake by as much as 40%!!!

      Fitday has never steered me wrong - ever
