Understanding Your Estimates

SnackBreak uses your logged snack decisions together with published nutrition data and research to estimate calories avoided and potential weight savings.These estimates are provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice or guaranteed results.

How SnackBreak Estimates Results

Estimated Calories Avoided

When you log that you resisted a snack, SnackBreak estimates the calories avoided using average calorie values for the snack category you selected. Actual calorie amounts vary depending on serving size, brand, recipe, and portion.

Estimated Potential Weight Savings

SnackBreak estimates potential weight savings using the widely referenced relationship between long-term calorie balance and body weight described in published scientific research. These values are estimates only and individual results will vary based on many factors, including diet, physical activity, metabolism, age, genetics, and overall health.
