New to Calorie Counting....question....
Ok, I got the app for my android phone and started tracking today. I set a "realistic" goal of losing 1 lb / week for now. It kicked out that I should aim for 1880 calories per day. So I put in my breakfast this morning (284 calories) and my gym workout (599 calories), and then looked at my app and it says I have 2195…

How do I figure calorie content of deli foods?
I'm sure not the healthiest but I was out today after a doctor's appointment, it was lunchtime, and I was starving!

Too much sugar
Hey everyone! I am wondering does anyone have any advice on how to deal with the insane amount of sugar in EVERYTHING??? I know I should not drink pop or eat candy but what about every day food? Milk, bread, fruit? Someone on a tv show once said people should not eat more that 15 grams of sugar a day! I am over 100 a day?…

Hormones
Today was bad, ate like crap, didn't move much & felt like I was on the verge of a temper tantrum :explode: all day. Unfortunately, this appears to be a recurring theme.

For the past few months my hair has been falling out. I’m not saying that I have bald patches or anything like that, but my once really thick hair is now very thin.
