Is Weight-By-Date Pro a calorie counter? Will it calculate my calorie deficit for each day?
Yes and Yes. In addition to being a calorie counter for what you eat, Weight-By-Date Pro takes a good look at the calories that you are burning and compares the two. We call this Net Calories. It takes your food calorie count and subtracts any calories burned to show if you've burned more calories than you took in. It can also factor your BMR into the equation, treating this as calories burned, to give you a true indication of where you stand.

Is Weight-By-Date Pro a carb counter for my low carb diet?
Yes. And Weight-By-Date is more than a simple carb counter. For example, Weight-By-Date Pro can track Net Carbs, which subtracts fiber and sugar alcohols from carbohydrates. This is used most frequently with the Atkins diet, but it has value for many other low carb diets as well.

Does Weight-By-Date Pro require a specific weight loss program, fitness program, or diet?
Absolutely not. Flexibility is a key aspect of Weight-By-Date Pro and it will work with virtually any type of weight loss diet.
