The in vs out tile.

 

Under

 

More can be eaten (up to 'in range' / green zone) to stay within the food plan, when being under the deficit will be larger than the selected deficit and more weight will be lost instead.

 

In zone

 

Stay in this zone to keep on track to stay within the desired deficit, when watching the food plan, you are able to see how many calories can be eaten for the day.

 

The zone chart only looks at the total intake / calories burned since midnight 'till (now). When eating more calories (according to the food plan allowance) more can be eaten but the chart can display being over at the moment since the body didn't burned as many calories yet.

 

When staying within the food plan, even when being over at the moment (eating more at dinner), it will drop back to 'within range' during the day.

 

Over

 

More calories have been eaten than the food plan (desired deficit), there may still be a deficit, and still loosing weight, but not as much as the selected weight loss plan..

 

Deficit: 500

 

Eat over with 200, there's still a deficit of 300 and still being on track to loose weight however the weight loss will be a bit less.

 

It's allowed to be 50 calories under or above the food plan to stay on track.
