Hi I'm making good progress that i'm happy with SW:85 CW:71kg GW:66kg height:168. Still also losing cm when i measure. and my progress has been quite consistent [http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/asciiqwerty/view/so-not-linear-but-the-trend-looks-good-655024]
My calorie goal is 1500. with C:P:F 35:30:35.
Yesterday I got the closest i've ever been to meeting all my macro targets, but I was a little low on fibre.
If you have the time, I would be grateful if you could look into my diary,
- i would love a sanity check to help me pick up incorrect/innacurate listings
- i would also be greatful for tips/suggestions to help me meet my macro targets more frequently
thanks

I took a look
Few entries are suspect
Banana by length
Generic cheese slice or anything that starts with generic
Buns not weighed
I have to think some of your entries are personal ie made by matt, your cereal with milk
Protien seems really low on most days...some days pretty good.
I often eat protien at every meal to get my 120 grams in...yes it can get old and some days I will eat cereal but I try to get protien in then too with some bacon.0 -

thanks for taking a look
there are some guesses - i usually have to do that when i'm out -I try to put a note in the food notes (but i don't always remember)
so the generic cheese slice was at a bbq and I chose generic on purpose to flag to myself that it was a guess - I also noted on my profile that everything that day was a guess - but i was marshalling and first aider at a music festival and on my feet for 14 hours - so it may well have balanced out
banana by length means i ate it at the office and it's a best guess - though it usually means i've measured it (with a ruler) (when at home like for supper last night i weigh)
the hot crossed buns, I weighed the pack contents and the first two i served and pack/number = first two (+/- 4g) so for simplicity i left 1 bun [probably lazy]
when I am guessing ('cos i'm out - or someone other than my husband is cooking) I try to pick things that are obviously guesses to help me acknowledge that they're inaccurate and i try to add a note
however, those were all before I re-adjusted my macros and started targeting macros rather than just calories
quite a lot of personal entries (recipes, meals, ...) which I weigh and adjust as I can (i've started using a smaller bowl too)
i'm definetly struggling to get the proteins - will have to think about adding some to breakfast more often
or getting in some protein snacks0 -
Didn't see anything odd, apart from the odd skimmed milk powder entry in Snacks or somewhere.0

I've started making a shake from time to time to help with my protein and fat (milk + milk powder (+ vanilla essence or fruit)) and i weigh them, if I have it not as a meal then it goes into snacks0
