I am eating foods that are as close to whole and unprocessed as possible but it just frustrates me because I'm STILL over 1200 calories and my macros are off. I'm even exercising. So what the heck?

I gained most of my weight when I was eating a diet that was mostly based on whole foods and cooking from scratch. It's not hard to do, for some of us. So if you want to lower calories (or carbs) or adjust your macros, look at the days you have logged (the whole day) and see where the calories and macros are coming from an make changes as necessary.

But also consider that you may not need to eat so low as 1200, and that if you are exercising you probably should not, but should add back some calories.

What are your goals and what is your average day?

I work a desk job 7-3, try to walk at least a mile, eat dinner... It's pretty much the same every day.

What about macro goals, weight loss goals, calories, and the current macros you are averaging? Also, what WinoGelato asked.

It seemed from your first post that you were just talking about breakfast, so if that's the case the only concern re 77% carbs is if you are staying full enough.
