You will need to enter in all of the food you have eaten for 1 weekday and 1 weekend day. The food logs for each of these days should be complete and typical of your eating patterns for each day, so don't use days that are not typical (big parties or days when you are fasting) . The program "Fitday" will analyze the nutritional content of the food you eat. You want to see what your nutritional habits look like on a typical day and what the difference is between your weekday and weekend eating habits.
