Method of Regulating Caloric Intake

A method, including: determining steady state values for daily caloric parameters that conform a person to weight management goal, the daily caloric parameters including a daily base metabolic rate (BMR) and a target offset from a daily total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), wherein the TDEE includes the BMR; determining an intake shortfall for a plurality of days between actual daily offsets and the steady state target offset; making a recommendation including food to be consumed to reduce the shortfall, the recommendation effective to account for a transient change in a hunger response resulting from the consumption of the recommended food; causing consumption on an up adjustment day; and determining transient values for at least one of the daily caloric parameters to be used subsequent to the consumption on the up-adjustment day effective to bring an average of the actual daily offsets closer to the steady state target offset.
