I'm new-ish. I only logged a couple times before I became confused and tried another method...but now I'm back. I know that I have a calorie target..but what are these other numbers?. Are they grams.. or calories from ie. sugar etc?. I just wanna make sure that I am doing this right so any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    The numbers are grams.

    Read the stickies at the top of the forum; you'll find lots of useful information there!

    Its how many grams of each you are to consume each day. Carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram and fat has 9, alcohol has 7.
