I am having an issue. I am hitting my calorie count PERFECTLY, if not coming under. I CANNOT seem to get my carb count down. Ideas?

    I only keep the calorie count. I have a hard enough time doing that!

    I wouldn't worry about carb only calories unless you find that you do better with few of them. eat more veggies and proteins. limit your carbs to one meal a day. I am talking traditonal carbs like bread not the Atkins type of carbs (fruit and dairy) worry about your calorie intake and see what your body runs better on!

    I personally lose more weight when I eat veggies at each meal or at least 2 meals and 1 snack

    In looking at your current diary entry I think loading your calories at the end of the day may be slowing your metabolism. If you have to eat most of your calories late, it might help to take a 20 minute walk immediately after dinner, I tend to do the same thing - eating mostly at night and I notice it stalls weight loss. Also, adding a salad to dinner might help. It doesn't seem you're eating very much fibre, or fruits and vegetables, and that would be a way to start getting more in. It was hard for me at first but once I got in the habit I notice I crave fresh food.
    Good luck

    Check your meals again.. YOUR under on all your carbs.. Protein is over but that is fine.. Fat was over a litttle but thats not bad either... You seem to be doing fine... youve been under calories everyday.. Just make sure you EAT at least 1200 cals a day more if you work out. hope this helps

    Thank you. I could not remember if my doctor said 15 carbs a meal or 45 carbs a meal. I have high chol. and tri. and have to limit my carbs, fat, and calories. My calorie count has to be 1000-1200.
