The Diet Success Calculator creates a transparent adherence score from four user-entered behaviors: calorie-target adherence, protein-target adherence, planned-activity completion, and sleep-target achievement. It is a progress-tracking tool for comparing weeks, not a clinical measure of health or a prediction of weight loss.
Each component is capped at 100%, then combined using visible weights. This prevents one unusually high value from masking another area. Because the score is user-defined, it is most useful when inputs are collected consistently and interpreted alongside weight trend, measurements, energy, and wellbeing.
Use the percentage of tracked days that met your chosen calorie range.
Use the percentage of days that met the protein target.
Compare completed planned sessions or minutes with the weekly plan.
Compare nights meeting the sleep target with total tracked nights.
Use the component values to identify the most practical next adjustment.
Where:
Assumptions: Weights are a practical scoring design, not a validated medical model. Values above 100% are capped so overperformance in one area cannot offset another.
The result summarizes four self-reported adherence percentages using fixed weights.
This score is not validated for diagnosis, treatment, or prediction of health outcomes.
Given:
Calculation:
Score = 85 × 0.35 + 90 × 0.25 + 75 × 0.25 + 80 × 0.15 = 29.75 + 22.5 + 18.75 + 12 = 83.0.
Result: 83.0 out of 100, classified as consistent.
The lowest component is activity completion, so that area offers the clearest opportunity for adjustment.
No. The score measures adherence to entered behaviors, not energy-balance accuracy or physiological response.
The cap keeps extra performance in one category from hiding a shortfall in another.
Not in this version. Use the score only if the displayed weighting matches your tracking priorities.
Weekly tracking is usually easier to interpret than daily scoring because one unusual day has less influence.
Consider weight trend, waist measurements, training performance, hunger, mood, and medical indicators relevant to your situation.
