    Your diary looks awesome! Sooo glad to see you going over your protein limit (MFP's is way too low). Also, glad to see you log your water. A lot of people forget about that, but hydration is important. The only thing I would change is some of your brands. The choices you make are good, but you could make them better. For instance, your bread eats up a lot of your calories. Why not try a lower calorie choice? Nature's Own has some that's only 50kcal a slice. If you want lower than that, they have one for 40! Also, I would try looking up some of the brands you eat on a little app called Fooducate. This app rates the foods you scan on a scale from A to F. It tells you why they're bad, and gives you some better choices.

    Overall, I think you are doing fine. Keep up the good work!

    Today looks pretty good!
    The only suggestions I would make are to increase vegetables, fruits and whole grains :)
    And a more substantial lunch would probably have helped you stay energized throughout your day.

    You also just inspired me to go buy cottage cheese YUM!

    Edit: Just looked back on some prior days, and you can definitely use some extra fruits/veg and whole grains! you have the cals to "afford" it... and them some! Try to eat a little more

    @yustick - nice job with keeping reduced processed foods out of your diet, and nice job with getting the protein in. I would maybe track sodium intake, just to add another macro for curiosity's sake.

    I'm not really sure what to say because it seems like you get a lot of veggies & proteins which is really good! Your meals sound absolutely delicious and I'm definitely going to steal some meal inspiration from you.

    Look like some good food choices you allow yourself to still eat delicious things like Chipotle but keep things pretty healthy, only advice would be more consistent about loggig try and log every day!

    Your diet looks pretty solid. Nice macro distribution! I'd keep on doing what your doing. I like how you still include a few treats into your very healthy food choice.

    Emily, I would say the number one thing that you could do is aim to eat more protein. If you are new here then you may not realise that MFP automatically sets a ratio of carbs:fat:protein that is quite low in protein. You can go in and manually change it.

    The other thing that I would reccomend is eating more veggies.

    How do I change that, or what would be a ratio that is good for me?
    Thanks for the help!

    Excellent workouts, great to see you are eating back the calories. I would slowly try getting away from the take out food to help lower the sodium and extra fillers. I know its hard being busy however.

    I was missed the first time around! Poops!

    2abnorth:
    Your diary is noteworthy- very good! You're hitting your macros and eating a nice variety of fresh foods several times throughout the day. The only thing I saw worth removing was the fake cheese. Personally, I would avoid butter too- but you obviously aren't eating it in excess and are doing exceptional everywhere else. Nice water intake too! Sorry I could not be of much help, haha.

    really good diary , but try avoiding carbs in the late part of your day lets say after lunch you should be avoiding it or it will be turned into fat

    @ausf checked your diary and it seems a bit high on processed food so perhaps you could incorporate more fresh foods?

    Everything you eat looks super yummy, but you seem to be consistently ~1000 cals under. If I had a limit like that I'd be taking advantage of it! Also your protein seems consistently lowish. But in general, looks good.

    Disclaimer to whoever does mine- Sunday I went over by noon so didn't bother logging the rest. Cookies and brownies were involved at a CE.

    Thank you for the feedback! I am just wondering what science (or further facts) you have behind the statement in which carbohydrates are processed in to fats later on in the day (does this include ALL carbs such as fruit? Or just the more processed carbs?). I'm not disagreeing- just interested. I have heard your point before as well as others whom say it doesn't really matter as long as you hit your macros.
