QuicKcals
The things a food diary never explains
Why the scale moves when your diet didn't, what your body actually spends in a day, and how wrong a calorie count really is. Written by the people who build QuicKcals, and honest about the parts nobody can measure precisely.
Why the scale lies
You cannot gain a kilo of fat overnight. What you actually gained, and the number to read instead of the one on the display.
What you actually burn in a day
The calculator gave you an average of people resembling you. Where that number comes from, and how to measure your own.
How wrong is your calorie count?
Labels carry a tolerance, portions get underestimated, and the handful while cooking never gets logged. Why it still works.
Logging food you didn't cook
No label, no scales, someone else's portions. How to log a meal out without giving up on the week.
Why the weight stopped moving
Three causes of a plateau, each needing a different response — and one of them is to do nothing.
