Hi Guys,

I am a little confused here...i am on a 1200 cal. diet, now when i try to eat adequate cals my carbs go in minus and when i try to keep all in sync my cals become less...the carbs to eat in a day are so less that i am not able to find a break even point. My question is...r u also facing the same prb? is it ok to eat more carbs in order to eat adequate amount of cals???

thnx in advance,
arien

    eat more fat or protein instead to get to your goal.

    I am not a nutritionist but I am on a 1200 day diet too. I haven't really had any trouble with my carbs so can't help you. But my diary is open so you can check it out and see what I am eating to reach my 1200 day goal and not go over (although I DO go over a little om purpose because sometimes I try to eat back some of my exercise calories).

    I want to add that it's possible I go over my carb limit and don't know it. I get most of my input from the MFP database and so if someone didn't log in the carb calories they won't show up when I add the meal.

    I changed my default nutrition goals in mfp to 40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat because that better reflects the program I follow. Work out what you want your proportions to be that suit your program and set your mfp to that. :-)

    thnx for all the replies guys....hmmm im still confused though...coz i tried eating more fat just for two days...and i ended up coming upto 57.5 from 56.3...:(...took me another 4 days to fall down to 56.3.....unfortunately had a bday party the week next and i had another piece of cake :_( went upto 56.9....gosh!!...this calorie fat thing is driving me crazy....i wonder if i ll ever reach my goal this way or maybe i have to stop all cakes and other fatty stuff!!...hmm but that means ...the day i eat that stuff i go back up on weight!!! :(
