Points explained

FITNESS LOGS
3 points = over an hour and a half of intense and sequential activity occurred (ex: a long run, walk, sports game, weight lifting session, etc).
2 points = 30 minutes to an hour and a half in a day, broken up into no more than two activity sessions, of exercise.
1 point = activity above normal daily intensity, but totaling less than 30 minutes.
0 points = nothing over your daily, routine activity.
Here's an example log:

NUTRITION LOGS
5 points = 5 healthy meals - breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner
4 points = 4 healthy meals
3 points = 3 healthy meals
2 points = 2 healthy meals
1 point = 1 healthy meal
0 points = no healthy meals
Here's an example log:

If you have an ice cream cone, a glass of wine, a cookie, french fries, a greasy hamburger, fried chicken, pizza, doritos, etc - you will receive no points for that meal.  If you have a turkey burger or a lean beef burger, I will count that as a point.  Basically your points stem from breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner - each of those 5 meals needs to contain complex carbs, protein, and good fats.  It is important for you to EAT when trying to lose weight or remain stable at a certain weight.  Eating less than 1200 calories in any given day will result in weight gain.

Hopefully the example logs are helpful.
