Are you looking for comments on your diary? You need to set it to public.
Or on something else?0 -

The salad is good! I think if you set your diary to show "sugar" you will be very surprised at how much you are consuming with the types of foods you have logged there (I only looked at the latest entry by the way). Try to keep away from foods that haven't been grown or killed i.e. good foods = veg, fruits, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, legumes etc. Once food is processed it includes salts, sugars and bad carbs.
Also you might like to try eating smaller meals but more often - 5-6 times a day? it will keep your metabolism up at a constant level and you won't get dips and peaks that come with eating a large meal then nothing for several hours. I found that the hardest to do but now I eat regularly I am more able to make good choices cos I am not starving for my next meal.0 -
ALSO, your exercise diary doesn't show much at all and with your macros set to 1950 calories I am not sure you will be losing weight on that high a level? How is it going weight-wise?0

Thanks whats this about sugar? I didnt know about that?
Yea I am not hungry ever though really so dont know whether to change eating times.0 -
That is because been so overweight and unfit I can only managed 10 minutes? Lol I thought I was doing ok but now you mentioned that and the sugar thing ekkk What could I have for yummy snacks then instead?0

It automatically set the calories for me?0

I've sent you a message.0

eat all the calories - hit 1950 per day every day
more protein (mfp setting is minimum so you want to hit it or even go read)
more fruits and veggies (for fiber you may want to track fiber)
you are drinking a lot of your calories, nothing wrong with that, but make sure you get your protein and some healthy fats* every day
and drink only the left calories...
* fatty fish like salmon, nuts, olive oil are examples of healthy fats0 -

sorry but your advice is rubbish
no need to have 5-6 small meals, meals timing is irrevelant. I skip breakfast to enjoy large dinner, works great for me
no need to track sugar, sugar is not evil,
no need to exclude any type of food, as long as you hit your macros (balance protein, fats and carbs)0 -
no am not thik you go far....i think you not going far....0

Eat to your calorie target. Try to get the green number at the bottom as close to zero as possible. Eat a varied diet of mainly nutritious foods but do not worry about having treats every now and again. Also, unless you have a medical condition, you do not need to track sugar.

Don't worry about the sugar. It is a subset of carbs - unless you have a medical condition, just track carbs.0 -

She has over 120lb to lose, her BMR and therefore TDEE will very high - 1950 is a very reasonable target to lose weight. I do it on those calories and I am 20 years older and much lighter.0 -
You definitely should eat more fruit and vegetables! And I would recommend eating less processed breads and instead eat more complex carbohydrates (steel cut oatmeal, quinoa, etc). Also, try swapping the fattier meats (beef, ham, etc) for things like chicken breast and fish.
Edited to add-- you need to track fiber as well, because I doubt you are getting enough w/o cruciferous veggies in your diet.0 -

If someone doesn't understand this... well, you don't really have much of a leg to stand on while giving dieting advice.0 -
