I am on the phone app so I can't see diaries but as others take a look It will help your know your goals, stats, activity, etc
But also this group is all levels of low carb, so are you looking to be keto or what is your carb maximum?

Anyone

I looked at your info last night but didn't respond. Here's my opinion:
Agree with the poster above that you should move your protein to the main screen to monitor it regularly unless you have a specific reason for having sugar or calcium there. Remove either the calcium or sugar and replace with protein.

Also for ease, put them in order where carbs is followed by fiber so you can easily subtract fiber from carbs for net carbs if you are counting net carbs. Or you can install the thing in the link in the prior post. I don't use it.

1340 calories seem reasonable for a 30 year old 5'2 female. You're showing only a couple of workout days in February (I looked at only February) so a real opinion on calories, I don't have. It's reasonable. Perhaps you are lifting 3 days a week and just don't enter it. You've lost 11 pounds already and have 10 more to go according to your ticker so kudos on that! I'm assuming that you put all your stats in MFP accurately for the rate of loss you desire so I don't need your height to see what other calculators indicate is the "proper" amount of calories for you. I've found MFP to be generally in line with the multitude of other calculators I have used.

Without doing all the calculations it appears you have your macros set to either 70% fat/25p/5 carbs or 65% fat/30% protein/5% carbs. Seems to be ~100 grams? Either is fine if you don't exceed your carb max and generally meet the protein goal. Either of the aforementioned percentage splits are typical of keto folks.

Many folks dabble in setting protein to a higher % (or # of grams) ensuring to meet minimum protein amounts for their specific needs (athletic or physique). It does not to be this complicated for one who is not a highly active, training athlete etc. Your 25% or 30% protein goal should be more than enough for you.

I don't really look at what folks eat or measures they do or do not use. If someone looked at my diary, they could pick it apart to the nth degree if they chose to do so. That said, if you are using generic type entries from the data base (cauliflower casserole, 1 serving as an example) those can be way off from what you are actually eating. What's really in the casserole or what constitutes a serving? Entries such as "1/2 medium avocado" is a pretty weak entry from the database. Remember I'm not saying you used this. I didn't look at entries. Point is, something as calorie dense as an avocado is weighed at best. There is a variance in "medium" in regards to calories, carbs, net carbs, fiber and protein.

Hope that helps.

There I think I did it right
Thanks for the help!

Yes but now you left off Fats. There is 1 more category available so add the Fats category back in.

Your diary looks good but I would recommend weighing your food on a food scale and using grams instead of cups for food ...you would measure your liquids in spoons and or cups ...I hope that helps

Good advice by kpk54.
