I need some advice.
I am 18 years old and I am struggling with my food/calorie intake. I find it really hard to stick to a diet plan because my family always buys bad snacks and I always find myself snacking on bad food because we don’t have good food in the house. When I ask them to buy good snacks, they will buy some good snacks that will…

Carrying calories over
Are we able to carry calories over to the following day if we don’t use them all? I know some people save X amount of calories a day to treat themselves at the end of the week but does this slow down weight loss?

Low Calorie Diet
Hi! So I am aiming to lose as much weight as I can, as safe as I can.
