Carbs and Protein and Fat, oh my!
So at the end of EVERY day, I always go over my protein by, like, 50 grams, and over my fat by like, 10. But I always have at LEAST 100 carbs left over. Is that a bad thing or a good thing? I'm not doing it on purpose or anything. I did lose 10 pounds last week, which seemed like a whole lot to lose right off the bat, but…

When calories do -- and don't -- count
When calories do -- and don't -- count Posted Fri, Nov 30, 2007 Americans have a love-hate affair with calories. At any given moment, more than four out of 10 of us say we're on a diet, yet we are gobbling 300 calories more each day on average than we did 20 years ago.
