My Dr. sent my to a dietitian today who recommend this site. I've have health problems that actually caused me to lose so much weight that it messed up my metabolism. I then started gaining weight rapidly because although I wasn't eating much it was being stored by my body. My struggle is to try to boost my calorie intake and make healthy food choices. I hope I can meet nice people who can support me and perhaps understand my somewhat backward struggle to eat more in order to lose weight! :(

    Hi! I just started this week, and this is so very helpful. It allows me to eat what I want without doing all the math. If I eat something a little bad for me, I know that I need to compensate and eat healthier for the remainder of the day. I wish I had found this weeks ago! Good luck, I am sure you will do well:flowerforyou: !
