What we're doing is fine with me. Coming within 10 points without going over is a big challenge, especially with carbs, but we need to do it. Protein goal is good. Calories is good. I think within 100 is a reasonable goal. Maybe we should just keep doing this so we get in a groove and get better at it.0

Sounds good to me.0

here's the challenge for the month:
Calories: not over can be at the zero mark and if under can not be under by more than 50.
Carbs, Fat, Sugar : not over can be at the zero mark again if under by no more than 10
Protein: can be under by no more than 10 or over by 100 -

Now THAT'S a challenge *wipes sweat from brow*0 -
also note Protein can be 10 G under or 10G over or anywhere in between the two. But not over or under more than 10G. Hope this makes sense0

9/1: 40... Over by 9 on sugar0

I am starting back this month. I really need the daily logging. Personal issues have clouded my mind and my ability to pay attention! I am not sure of the scoring system any longer and could use some help. Rachel or Michele if you could look and let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks so much for letting me back In!0

Don heres the rules of the challenge: Calories: not over can be at the zero mark and if under can not be under by more than 50. Carbs, Fat, Sugar : not over can be at the zero mark again if under by no more than 10
Protein: can be under by no more than 10 or over by 10.
We earn 10 points for each macro (Cals, carbs, fat, sugar and protein) each day. make sense?0 -

Best to fuel the body for one day imo. I was confused by your macros, btw. lol20 + 100=120. post leg day hungries set in and I ate all the foods. Killed my macros.

I was wondering about adding water as another marker. It's important. I know I could use the motivation. I haven't been tracking in forever although I know I drink "enough"... since cutting, I decided to track it again.
Another 10 points for 8 or more cups?0 -
sounds good to me JIm, lets add water. 8 cups per day for 10 points.

120+30 (with water)=150. The strict rules this month is keeping me on my toes. Shows how important pre-planning is.. sometimes it's hard to be under by 10g or at zero. Have to up my game0
-
9/4: 120+30 = 150 (including water)
I agree, pre-planning is important. I sat for 30 minutes when I got home trying to make the numbers work with what food was available. Finally had to give in to the carbs because workouts make you hungry and I didn't pay close enough attention during the day... But made my protein and a little more, just barely over plus 10g. I'll take it.
