Having trouble keeping fat down and protein up.
I keep finding that I am eating too much fat and not enough protein. It’s tough because I’m trying to eat well, but cheese and nuts and eggs are adding too much fat and not enough protein. Any tips for high protein, low fat options. I’m not scared of eating fats, but my proportions are just off. Thanks!

Any Velvet Taco lovers?
If so, I’m interested in how you log it, i.e. your entries & quantities. I’m happy to share mine for #2 rotisserie chicken and #3 tikka chicken. Those are my faves.

Yesterday it says I went over by 50 cals., up .5 lb. this a.m. :/ I'd love to start the scale…
