    Ok. Here is what I did, and I hope it makes sense to you. Go into your goal settings and change your goal weight to your current weight. Then click maintain weight (instead of lose 2 lbs a week), then click calculate, or whatever the button is to move on. This will tell you your calorie total you can eat each day WITHOUT gaining weight.. When I have a bad day, I look at this number and if I haven't gone too far over, I feel pretty good about it. Don't worry about the fat, you will get the runs and lose most of it tomorrow or the next day!

    You are only 350 over right now. I'm sure you will find your maintenance calorie intake (as you figure it above) WILL allow you to eat this evening! 350 over, after lunch isn't bad. Just do some exercise and then have a light supper.

    Does anyone think that sodium goal is high? 2500?

    I leave mine set to maintenance so that I see my true protein needs(then also manually changed it) but I like to see it that way too, red ugly numbers aren't motivating to me(only went over once in my month here) n my "healthy" deficient is less than the 500 n I would usually under cut that so not to possibly go over n see red ick.

    and I don't think the sodium's high, I easily go over several times a week lol, I just drink lots of water n go over my potassium a couple of times a week as well, I see that as my max, not my goal.(for sodium)

    In Silicon Valley, most restaurants post the calories of each item. I am finding most of the food is 1000 calories (for one dish). I find it hard to stay under that for one meal so I just order a salad and a bowl of soup. STILL went over 1000 with that at the Elephant Bar! I think they used heavy cream and olive oil in their dressing. I still lost a pound this week. I met a friend I hadn't seen in 2 years...at Fresh Choice in Campbell. Found out when I got there that it had closed...so we went to a place near by...Elephant Bar. I hardly eat out right now, it is pretty difficult to stay within the limit/and eat vegan.
