I'm a 69 yr old female athletic who swims, bikes, runs, & lifts. I'm having trouble figuring out what my macro nutrients should be.

Keeping my Carbs on the low side seem to help with keeping my weight down & feeling better (not bloated anymore) but I need carbs to keep my training up. Your thoughts?1

Hello, I am vegan, and have some health issues with gluten, which I cannot have - I do take supplements but my diet is limited so I bake and started using (I also don't eat sugar) cocoa to make things palatable, well, now there are vegan bean cereals with unsweetened cocoa and chocolate with monkfruit, etc so I have started eating a lot, not changing my caloric input except maybe by 100 calories (I use MFP daily) - I am wondering how much cocoa a day is counter health-wise in consumption? I am guessing I have probably 1/2 to 1 cup of cocoa a day. Thank you.0
