The daily caloric intake of 53 18–45 yr old Ss was monitored. A caloric intake monitoring (CIM)-no-goal group was compared with CIM–low-goal group, a CIM–moderate-goal group, and a CIM–high-goal group. While CIM combined with goal-setting produced more weight loss than CIM combined with no goal, various levels of goal did not differentially affect weight loss over a 4-wk period.
