MyPersonalDiet for iPhone and iPod Touch User’s Guide 31
You can chose the period of the chart being shown by tapping the Period entry. You can
choose one of the predefined periods (e.g. “Today”, “This week”, “Last week”, etc.) or
choose your own period by choosing “Other”. You will then be prompted to enter the
start and end dates.
Some charts can display a dotted horizontal line that represents the average. The average
is based on all the values used for calculating the charts and not on the bars/lines/dots
being displayed (which only use values for a specific date range).
6.5 Getting Results
You can get immediate results of your efforts by choosing the Results button in the
Journal view. This shows the Results window (see Figure 26), which is composed of
four areas:
1. As of Today shows where your weight is vs. your goal. You will immediately
know if your weight is where it should be or not.
2. About Eating shows how many calories (or kilojoules) you need to lose (or gain)
to reach you goal, and how much on average you lost (or gained) since the start of
your diet.
3. About Exercising calculates how often you exercise and for how long, and lets
you know if that’s enough or not.
4. What To Do shows recommendations to reach your goals, based on your actual
weight and your eating and exercising habits, such as “consider eating less, or
“consider eating more”, etc.
Note
These recommendations are only that: recommendations. Use your own judgment to
determine if they are suitable for your condition or not. You may also want to seek the
help of a health professional to help your reach your goals.
