Hello everyone, I have a slight dilemma lately.
So the other day I went out and bought a pedometer to help keep track of my steps and calories throughout the day because I'm on my feet and walking a lot at work.
Now I have my daily calories set for 1400. I realized that even though I ate a steak for dinner and some meatballs and pasta for lunch along with a few other things that day, because I entered the calories I burned from walking at work and around the grocery store I was WAY under my goal (by about 800)
Now it was late and I didn't want to eat any more that night, but eating so little calories is unhealthy.
How should I make this work... I feel as though I hate a lot of food yesterday but because I burned so much my chart says otherwise...
How should I handle this?!?!

Plan your meals better instead of just eating whatever and see what happens.. Add extra portions, lose the low fat stuff, and eat more during the day.0
