For the love of Produce...
I’ve been a produce *kitten* for years and years. My ‘Apple thing’ is notorious among friends and family. That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…

Macronutrients
My question is…Do I really need to focus on my macronutrients in order to lose weight? I either go over on my carbs, or fat, and never eat all my protein amount. I stay at or under my daily calories but my macros are making me feel like a failure. Thank you for any and all responses. Candy

Could you eat the same meal everyday?
Before I cut out bread and marge I would have scrambled egg on toast every morning, for years.
