Protein Bars and Shakes
Hi :) I'm 23 and I'm at the higher end(almost the brim) of my healthy weight range. I'd like to lose some weight and be at the lower end of the spectrum instead.

Trouble getting minimum protein
I've always done the high protein/low carb thing for weight loss and it works for me. I've lost 30lbs that way (I had surgery though recently and gained some weight back during recovery which I'm trying to lose again). Based on calculations, I need about 65gms or protein minimum a day but I feel like I can never hit that…

Cooking with oils-Help!
If you cook with oils, do you count your oil calories? Do any of the oil calories burn off in the pan? I believe using some oils is good but I want to know if I should add the entire 120cal from that Tablespoon of oil I sauteed with to my diary. That's a lot of calories to miss! Not to mention fat and nutrients! What does…

If you want to eat less than 1200 calories you may do so, the only…
