Can someone check if I'm doing this right?

Hi! Yesterday was my first attempt at eating mor calories. While my blood sugars weren't as perfect as they have been when I was eating fewer calories, they weren't out f control and I can adjust.

P.S. My BMR is 1365, TDEE 1878, Cut Number 1502

Thanks.

Sorry, I meant can someone check my diary to see if I followed what I am suppose to be eating correctly. I have made my diary public now.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello!

I'm not sure what your workouts are like, so not sure if you have your calories figured out correctly...the numbers seem a bit low unless you are really really short.

Your diary looks good, you may want to focus on getting in a bit more protein.

Thanks!
I am very short 5'00"

I do intermediate to advanced Pilates style workouts. Currently doing Core Fusion. and I do 30 minutes of cardio either HIIT on the treadmill or a DVD.

Mostly I was worried about having the right amount of calories and having them plugged in right. I know I have to stay above my BMR at all costs right?

Yep!

I would say that you fall into the moderately active category on the scooby calculator. I didn't plug in your numbers yet but here is the link:

Also, I forgot to mention, its generally recommended that you set your macros to 40/40/30 carbs/protein/fat when starting out. You can change your macros under "food"--->"goals"

> "custom". In the beginning, I wouldnt obsess over every little gram, but more just try to use them as a guideline and get as close as possible. Usually if you focus on hitting your protein goal, everything else falls pretty naturally into place.
