    Not lately because I know that if I ate it I really did need it. But I'm very strict with what I eat now, too. There are just no snacky foods left in my life.

    I am not happy at all if i go over carbs, but I'm diabetic. None of the other macros are as important to me

    the red numbers don't bother me. I occassionally see them, but only occassionally, so it is ok.

    The red numbers terrify me! :frown: But I think I am okay unless it is 200 hundred +.

    Well my daily burn (just from life, not including workouts) is 1,890 and my goal is 1,397 net.
    So I do try my best to stick with that but I don't get TOO concerned unless I'm 500 cals over and eating more then I'm burning.

    I also try to watch my carbs and fat but don't really get concerned unless they're in the red AND I'm over 1,397. I try to eat as much protein as I can so I only worry about that if I'm UNDER my daily goal.

    As long as your calorie number is green more often then it is red.....

    Saturated fat, I guess? I wouldn't say I freak out exactly, but my dietician has me on an extremely low allowance of that, so I watch it like a hawk.
