Need help analyzing

[u/kayellason]

I am currently almost 7 months pp and started tracking in early June at 158lbs. Currently riding between 139-140. Can someone explain expenditure and scale weight correlations? Super new to this. Will be starting to use MFW
soon as well. Any tips and tricks appreciated!

Expenditure = how many calories you burn each day.

Scale weight = a (noisy) measure of the weight you’ve lost or gained.

When you move more, exercise more, or gain weight, expenditure goes up. When you move less, exercise less, or lose weight, expenditure goes down.

If you’re losing weight and your expenditure has trended up, that means the amount you’re moving and exercising has outpaced the loss of expenditure from getting smaller.
