Does it matter?!
I am trying to lose 25 lbs and just started counting my calories on this site. I am supposed to stay at 1200cal a day, and I noticed on this site it also gives you an amount for carbs and protein to stay at. I have only ate 500cal so far, but I am already over my protein by 3 today. How is this going to affect me?

The Science side of my brain says it's cold because it takes calories to maintain your body tempurature, and heat goes where there is…
