I am having a hard time reaching my daily goal...

Your Daily Goal
Calories:1,940
Carbs: 267
Fat: 65
Protien: 73

I find that I go over on the protien and fat, but am under on the calories and carbs...

Anyone have a similar goal? Any tips on the best way to reach all the goals and not go over any of them?

Thanks in advance!

    You just have to really be diligent on what you eat. I don't mind the protein, but I can't do fat. I'm not sure what you're eating, but I eat alot of chicken. I don't track my protein so I may be going over on the recommended amount. I've had to replace a lot of thing in my kitchen from regular to low cal or low fat. I've also started eating Sara Lee 45 calorie bread. Makes a huge difference when making sandwiches. You're just gon' have to buckle down and check your ingredients. I like to put what I am going to eat in before I eat it so I can see where it will put me at as well. This way if its too high in something then I won't eat it or I eat a smaller portion of it. That might help you as well.

    This happens to me a lot! Especially the protein. I am on a 1200 calorie limit and seem to do fine with cals and carbs also. I usually dont worry about going over in my protein especially if I do a good workout on those days.

    Good luck!

    How about eating 6 times a day??? Eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner but include snacks in between and before you go to bed but set a finally time to eat like 7pm or 8pm. Eat every 2 hrs 2.5hrs. :smile:

    Yes, it asked me my weight, height, age, exercise amount, and how much weight I want to lose per week. I did it twice just to be sure.

    I noticed I have been over my fat and protein too. I guess we have to watch and read the labels of what we eat so that we don't go over.

    If you enter all your information correctly than that calorie amount is correct. When I started using the website I was at a much higher level, because I started working an active job, exercising several times a week and if you are heavy you still need the calories to fuel your body. I am not overweight I am obese I went from eating fast food while going though a divorce and working at a 8 hour a day sit down at a desk job to working on my feet 9 ours a day moving all the time lifting and carrying thing, so my body still needs about 1850 a day before I exercise. Before I was probably eating about 1200-1500 calories a meal that if prepare all my meals I am having trouble getting to 1500 for the complete day. I have been doing very well on my weight loss, I weigh myself only once a week and when I put it into my plain it changes my intake levels.

    The less you weigh the less fuel your body needs, the more you exercise the more fuel your body needs.
