Hey all. I recently found this site and am on my weight loss journey with 5 of my friends. I am finding that I have no problem staying in the caloric intake each day - however I am struggling with getting the levels correct for the rest of the items - fat, sugar protein etc - either too high or too low. Is there a place where I can look for recipes (for all meals/snacks) that can help to balance everything out? Thanks in advance and so far I love this site!

aim for some lean protein in most meals (that would be fish, chicken, ground turkey, ground chicken, several different protein powders, etc.).
limit processed/boxed/fast foods.
eat veggies and some fruit.
use healthy fat (i.e., EVOO) for cooking.
if you do that, for the most part, the macros will balance themselves out.0 -
