    Only feedback I can give is that it looks like your net calories are often pretty low. Like last Wednesday, total cals were 1448, but your burned 689 in exercise, leaving your net at only 759 net calories for the day. Same with today - a total of only 1373, but subtract your exercise cals and you're left with 510.

    Do you know what your BMR is? I make it a point to make sure my net cals for the day are at least at my BMR - the body burns that many calories if I'm comatose in bed all day long, so eating below that isn't enough for any sort of activity, and exercise on top of that.

    I keep this post bookmarked - it's helped me and heaps of other MFPerst: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12
    Check it out - great info in there that helps take a lot of the mystery out of the whole process, at least it did for me. :bigsmile:

    Looks excellent to me. The only suggestion I would have is as follows, and only if you're looking for a lower calorie number at the end of the day.

    There are yogurts out there with less calories. I eat Danone Silhouette. 35 cal/100g.
