    There's no reason you need to eat the same thing every day although it might help you to create several meal plans that you rotate on a regular basis. If you need to restrict carbs for your diabetes, I'd suggest checking out the Atkins website for their recommended food lists and recipes. You don't necessarily need to follow their plan but those two things can be very helpful for someone new to watching carbs and unsure of what they can and can't eat. The recipes should help to keep your food choices from being monotonous, too.

    Why don't your Fitbit and MFP sync? They should. Mine have worked together since 2012 without a problem. Perhaps something just isn't set up correctly?

    Perhaps counselling is available to you? Not sure where you are, but if you're having to struggle so much with healthy choices, perhaps counselling would be covered by your medical?
