Should I track sugar or fiber?
I was wondering because it doesn't seem like sugar is very important in weight loss, or am I wrong? Or should I track something entirely different? I want to continue tracking fat, sodium, carbs, and protein though.

How do you handle PMS?
How do you handle PMS cravings? I wanted a loaded burger (cheese, bacon, etc) and settled for a single with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. And onion rings,. :blushing: A personal favorite.
