The Healthy Eating Zone is your daily Points Budget plus a little wiggle room. This range is intentionally designed to reinforce the fact that you don't have to be "perfect" to be successful - sometimes you'll be a little above or below your daily Budget and that's okay! We established this range (-8/+10 from your starting daily Budget) to give you more flexibility day-to-day. The lower end of the range encourages you to make sure you’re eating and tracking your meals throughout the day (stopping after morning coffee will leave you shy of the Healthy Eating Zone range) and the upper end of the range accounts for your ability to use your weeklies and any Points you earn as you see fit.
