    thank you all for you comments and advise.

    i have decided to go with 1717 calories a day, this is closer to what i was eating on my boring meal plan. yesterday was my first day at these calories and it felt like a good amount of food i wasn't left feeling hungry or overly full. i will stick to this for the next two weeks and then review it. i will let you all know how it goes .

    :happy:

    Does anybody know what the effect of not hitting my macros correctly on one day. Eg. Too much carb not enough fat?

    You can make up for it on the other days. Or just accept you didn't hit it that day and move on. It's not a big deal in the long run if you occasionally don't.

    I personally turn into a pumpkin if I don't get *exactly* 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight! :laugh: Or, actually, I don't... because I shoot for such a high target, I know it's no big deal if I don't make it exactly. :happy:

    Download this app for chrome then after you install open mfp on another tab(chrome). It will let you change macros % by 1% increments. Have fun!
