What is the benefit / purpose to "Mark Day Complete"?
I have been using Cronometer for about a year. I used my previous log religiously, once going 400 days without missing (that is, logging food is not a pipe dream for me). I switched to Cronometer because of its efficient food logging process.
While I have found that always logging on the same day is helpful—as food consumption memory fades amazingly quickly—I sometimes finish up the previous day's dinner or snacks while starting the next day. I cannot say how frequently I do that but it is fairly common.
Thus I am scratching my head to determine the value of the Mark Day Complete button.
I have never marked a day complete in the year+ I've been using Cronometer. Should I?

I also log religiously except for the odd day where my logging is partial, incomplete (camping, holidays). I mark them as complete anyways. Maybe some people leave them as incomplete and exclude the data from from their charts? Or perhaps leaving them incomplete will show the user the number of days they didn't complete the diary. It's a great question. So you're saying you can have a logging streak without marking days complete? I didn't know that.
This might shed some light on charts and filtering out days that are left incomplete. https://www.reddit.com/r/cronometer/comments/1jagsvr/mark_days_as_unlogged/
