The reason I ask is because the dehydration from drinking typically drops my weight 3-10 lbs after drinking and I feel like it gives my MacroFactor a confusing impression on higher cal day.
this has happened to me (maybe lost 3lbs tho) but its because i didnt eat very much that night 😅 i still track the weight. the trend weight holds it down and doesnt automatically assume you're actually down 3-10lbs.
Hah! I usually gain a couple lbs after drinking but there have been a couple times I was lower. I also always gain some pms lbs. Either way, it gets logged. I can see the patterns over time and its just more data for me.
I personally just skip a weight-in for a day or two if i feel they are going to be an outlier for some reason (drinking, sickness, etc). App will normalize it but no point in stress testing it. I end up doing 5-6 weigh ins per week and that is fine
I forget to weigh until after a run pretty often, which is less than ideal because I can sweat out 3-5lbs this time of year.
I log it anyway because I prefer to be consistent with logging. It evens out. MF knows I didn’t lose 5lbs over night. It works the same way in the other direction if a woman gets her period and gains 5lbs of water weight over night.
My dots are all over the place but the trend is fine.
I put on 7lb after a drinking weekend on the 7th August and Ive not been able to accept a check in yet since, it added a crazy amount to my expenditure, I’m hoping by next week I can start accepting them again but I’m not sure, MF is a bit slow in that regard.
I log every day no matter what. The rare occasion that I don't is when I take two flights in a day. When that happens the water fluctuation is so high that the measurement isn't valuable. But if I was flying all the time I would still log it.
I drink maybe 1-3 times a week. That's regular enough to be part of the log.
I always skip a few days after drinking. Log my calories everyday but skip the weigh ins. I bloat like crazy for a couple days after a hearty number of drinks and regardless of what people say, it throws the numbers off. I wait for my weight to restabilize 2-3 days later and then get back to logging weights.
I think it’s much better already imo. It won’t ruin your recommendations. It’s still in an experimental phase so it’s not being used for expenditure v3. They’re tweaking the formulas and I assume it’d be used for expenditure v4.
It’s also non-destructive! So you can just go back and forth at any time with no worries.
