Yup, another question about meetin' them calorie goals..
So here's the deal, I've always heard that diet should be paired with exercise so that when calorie intake goes down, workouts can keep the metabolism a-burnin'. And this is my question, if I go under my 1,200 calorie goal by 300 or so, is it really that bad? I spend at least 35 minutes doing cardio just about every day,…

protein phobia
First post here, however, I'm wondering why the apparent "protein phobia?" Over the course of the past 2 years I've lost just under 90lbs. (of fat) and increased my lean mass.

Fiber 'goal' numbers, I'm confused ...
I'm tracking fiber in my food diary, because I want to be sure to get enough, but the 'goal' number listed for me is just 16g. I'd thought that it was considered healthy to have something more like 30g of fiber per day. Does anyone have some insight on why my listed goal number for fiber is so small??
