    Do your clothes fit differently? Are your measurements changing? If cardio makes you feel good (I totally relate), then do it. Good luck!

    Just a tiny bit on my tummy - but overall I like the way my body looks - I think I would just like to see those abs that are hiding under the layer of fat I have.

    Abs are made in the kitchen. I would cut back on the carbs and pay attention to the timing of carb consumption.

    Timing and amount of carbs wont make much of a difference, unless you are not getting enough protein because of those carbs.

    Wow, OP looked at a couple days of your diary, way over calories on a couple of them, and what is with the 300+ grams of carbs (over 500 one day)?

    You may want to revisit your Macros. Set your protein goal to 0.8 grams per lb of body weight, and your fat to 0.35 grams per lb of body weight, and use both of those numbers as minimums, fill the rest in with cabs, but use that as a maximum amount.
    Thank you for this - I know I am a carb queen and I need to cut that right down. I do try to add more protein to my diet and will continue to do that and keep within my macros. The last few weeks have been really bad I will admit - last week doubly so because I had a migraine and just felt compelled to eat all of the time, bad I know!
