Help! I think I'm all protein'ed out!
I tried to make sure I hit my goal of 40% of my calories being protein yesterday and I went a little overkill, ended up with 54%. Usually I end up having between 15-25% of my calories from Protein... I've noticed if I have too many carbs (40-50% of daily calories) I don't lose weight/inches, even with exercise. So I know…

Macros --YES! I did a search!
I am curious about macros. I try and hit them and usually I am pretty okay about it (40/30/30).

I drink 2 cups at night, so that my body has something to "chew " on, and I wake up 3 lbs…
