    I'm a little confused. What exactly are you asking our opinion on? Calorie count? Macros?

    Did you weigh and enter each ingredient separately? I'm not sure what I'm looking at or for?

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    I was informed by some guy in the gym that carbs aren't good so I'm confused

    That guy at the gym is misinformed. Our bodies need carbs.

    Eat the foods you love. Stay in a calorie deficit. Lose weight. It's that easy.

    Carbs cause water retention, just like sodium, except carbs cause far more water retention than sodium. This unfortunately has led to a cult-like abhorrence of carbs in diet forums and at gyms, when in reality the only downside of carbs is that you store a few more pounds of water. It's just water. There's nothing wrong with carbs. You can eat a bagel for breakfast, slice of pizza for lunch, bowl of pasta for dinner, and a candy bar for dessert, and will lose exactly as much fat as someone who ate the same amount of calories in keto food.

    Get yourself a calorie number in the MFP Goals tool above, based on your weight loss goals, hit that number religiously and fanatically every day or as often as possible, and you will lose the amount of weight you told MFP you want to lose. Eat foods you love; deny yourself nothing but the huge portion sizes. Just hit that calorie target and all will be well. You don't need to bother with anything but that calorie target.
