I was wondering if for your food guidelines you use the guided they give you or if you customize your own. I have been following the guided but notice almost everyday I am going over on protein and less on the carbs...should I change it or leave it?

    I use it as a guideline but I'm focusing on the calories, protein & sodium right now.

    I try really hard to stay with what I'm given except for protein. For me, I don't feel like I could have 'too much.' I really try to watch the fat and carbs though! Its all what works for your body. I know that if I even look at a bagle the wrong way I can 3 pounds, so carbs are important. And fat I just shy away from in general unless is monosaturated. :bigsmile:

    I am not too worried about protein either. I do watch sodium cuz that is what makes me bloat! And I have a hard time getting veggies in a lot!

    I use guided and watch the calories. I keep on eye on carbs, protein, and fat...but I hardly ever have close to enough carbs. I watch sodium too...but only the day before a weigh-in.
