    Great!
    Hoping this will help: I find if I eat a pretty big breakfast & don’t go too long between meals, I don’t binge.

    I’m ok with fat % which is just a little too high since Sat Fat is doing much better.

    Haven’t forgotten this.,.on vacation-still tracking- but since we’re eating out I have no confidence in numbers. Will post here again beginning June 25/26.

    Changing up my macros to ketogenic goals. I felt my best when eating that way- my arthritis has worsened since introducing more carbohydrates into my diet.
    Macro goals:
    20g carbs
    160g protein
    125g fat

    5%C 35%P 60%F
    The protein is higher than recommenced to be truly ketotic but I think I need to be higher because of my age and workouts.
    We’ll see how I feel after 2 weeks and adjust from there.

    Hope your holidays were great @MadisonMolly2017
