# WeightPlot.com

> Plain-language guides to calorie counting, weight tracking and the habits around them, from the team behind the free WeightPlot app.

This site publishes guides on three subjects, and nothing else: how many calories to eat and how to log food accurately; how to read the scale, plateaus, measurements and progress; and meals, exercise and habits for losing weight and keeping it off. The topics come from the questions people ask most often in weight-loss communities.
