| Additional Information | ||||||||
This is the place to compare you caloric goal (the calories you need to maintain or lose weight) |
||||||||
with the calories you actually consumed during the day. Please be aware that the "Weight |
||||||||
Maintenance Calculator" has already accounted for exercise if you chose the correct activity level. |
||||||||
You should also know that this is not an exact science -- your body burns calories |
||||||||
through normal bodily processes, such as breathing, working at your desk, sleeping, etc. |
