    Focused macro? Is that just whichever one we want? Is it the one we have set as our highest? Are we choosing it as a team?

    Whichever you want

    My water intake is awesome I'm at 120 oz already but my problem seems to be my protein I can never seem to hit that without my carbs being crazy. I have my carbs set lower then protein. I can use some serious advise all are welcome. :#

    I don't eat cereal that often so that process food is easily taken away.
    I don't eat lunch meat... gone
    I do frozen or fresh veggies which is pretty good
    my issue is bread and potato's :neutral: and cake and pasta (I think you guys get the picture) I am a lot better with it I've come a loooong way but still a waaaays to go.

    I guess you can say I'm still a work in progress :wink:

    Dont understand how to put a percent on macros i go over on protein and fiber but under on fat but i like that do you add each one together and come up with a total percent

    Hey no you don't have to create a typer form. That's just promotional. It's what the site do.

    About percentage. What is your focused macro.
    Protein.. fat or carb. Which ever it is. And it's percentage. Do check daily and weekly challenges thread. I have explained it there in one of the posts

    Good Morning Team let's get this day going in the right direction. If you eat something crazy it's ok shake it off and make the next choice a better one. If you didn't work out it's ok do some squats now or march in place . What ever the struggle may be it's ok life happens. We got this!!!

    Good morning purple how is everyone today. I am do good on processed foods but it is hard not to eat some like my bread and cheese still not sure on how to figure out those macros suppose to eat 20 percent 79 grams but I ate 29 percent 90 grams is that 109 percent

    if you are supposed to eat 79 grams and you eat 50 that is 50/79 so you divide then x100 and get .63 x 100 is 63% of that macro. if you needed 79 grams and you had 100 grams you diving 100/79x100 =126%
    it is all to do with how much of a macro you are set to have, not with how much of a macro compared with all other macros.

    hope that helps

    By the way, two nsv's today. I had my blood drwan today, and I brought my A1c down from 6.5 in July to 5.9 today, which drops me out of diabetic to pre- diabetic, and I'm hoping to get it to 5.5 by Valentines Day. And per our daily challenge, I DID NOT stop at the wonderful bakery by my doctor"S office! That was a real challenge for me-- their orange sugar buns are the bomb!

    :)
