Too many carbs - not enough fat or protein
Today I haven't even hit my calorie mark but I have already gone over the carbs. I find it very difficult balancing the macronutrients - I always end up way over the carb amount, rarely get close to enough protein, and I am lucky if I get half of the fat. I know it may seem odd that someone who is 100 pounds overweight…

Is this OK?
Some days, I am just not hungry. I can force myself to eat, but only so much, and I usually end up coming in 300ish calories under my goal for the day, sometimes more.

Nursing Mom
So, I'm confused about my calorie intake because I am nursing my 3 month old. I have read that breastfeeding moms should consume 500 more calories per day to keep up their milk supply, but I am only nursing when I am not at work. That means I am only nursing on average of 3 times a day, as opposed to other moms who may…

Moderately healthy Chinese food?
I'm stranded in the office today for lunch because the wind gusts outside are ridiculous. I was considering an order of Chinese food; but Chinese food is not necessarily the lowest in calorie and fat content. I've just started with MFP and calorie counting. I've been doing well so far. Are there any delicious yet…
