Hello! Ive lost quite a bit of weight from just counting calories and not worrying about my macros which is awesome! But I noticed I eat a lot of carbs and not the most healthy choices. What I eat on average is a lean hot pocket for breakfast with a tangerine. For lunch I'll have a sandwich with one piece of bread, pretzels, and a fiber one bar. For a snack I might have a bagel or some cereal. Dinner Ill most likely have something bread based with more pretzels and maybe some fruit.
Does your specific food choices determine where and how you lose weight? Does it even matter? I want to lose my last 3 pounds and would love more information on this because some people say carbs cause tummy fat? Thanks for any advice you can give!

People say (and this is also true for me) that protein helps you feel more full than carbs, but calorie for calorie unless you're doing intense athletic training that will require a diet optimized for efficient fuel for building muscle, it really probably doesn't matter all that much.0

IMHO carb doesn't make anybody fat, caloric surplus did.0
