| Are the nutrition facts for all food items accurate? |
|
We have used USDA's table for Nutrition Facts for all the food items seen in our database. In some cases, you may find Nutrition Facts shared by our members and those items have been clearly labeled as "Sourced by Member". In all cases, you are advised to verify the validity of the Nutrition Facts and we request you to report any inaccuracy using our "Report Inaccuracy" feature option provided under each item. We will continue to refine this database as necessary to provide you with more up to date information on Nutrition Facts for all items stored in our database. We thank you in advance for your assistance in pointing out any inaccuracy as this will help others as well.

| What is 'Skip Analysis' seen on the Meal Planning Analysis page? |
|
To embark on an effective weight loss mission, you need to first understand where you are and where you would like to be. For this, the analysis step is necessary and by providing us few details about your current weight, height, activity and goal date, our analysis tool can quickly show you what you need to do in order to get to your goal weight by the goal date selected by you. In some cases, you may just want to create a meal plan based on a specific caloric limit, irrelevant to your actual limit, and for this reason we have provided the 'Skip Analysis' feature which will allow you to bypass the analysis step and start planning your meal plans based on the caloric limit chosen by you.
