    ******im not trying to be rude, but if you eat junk food your opinion doesnt matter to me, I need the opinion of people who eat clean and arent just trying to lose weight but actually get healthier*******


    My goal is to lose fat, please check my dairy and tell me where I can improve, am I eating too many carbs, too much protein, etc... thank you. any help will be appreciated..

    Maybe try adding more green leafy vegetables.

    Looks pretty good but....I was personally shocked by how much sugar I was consuming and it all came from low fat yoghurt and low cal bars. I added the sugar tab to my diary and this is how you track it. You may be surprised at "hidden"sugars in food you are consuming

    Is there anything specific you're trying to accomplish? Cardo/Strength training? In my opinion your carbs might be a touch high unless you're using them for aggressive work outs. I personally like my 40/40/20 macros, but even with that I feel like my carb intake is a bit high, but I'm worried if I lower it my work out energy will suffer...

    But overall your diary looks fantastic.

    I have downloaded your Food diary, and came up with a graph that may be useful to you:

    You food diary only goes back to Feb 20th, but the general trend is you are averaging out of your total calories:
    41% Carbs, 33% Protein, 25% Fat

    The carbs seem to be going up, and the fat percentages down.

    Just looking at the numbers, without knowing if you do a lot of exercise or not, I would suggest:
    Reduce percent protein a bit (25 to 30%). You don't really need that much protein.
    Increase carbs to around 45% (that will allow you to eat more fruits, as some suggested here)
    Keep fat at 25 to 30%

    Hope this helps !

    Everything actually looks good. You are tracking the right macros, carb/pro/fat. Not really necessary to track too much else. As far as variety, that's up to you. If you are comfortable with the same things and they are meeting calories and macros, then go for it. Healthy fats are little low. You could get in a little more if you wanted. Some other high protein/healthy fat foods to consider would be eggs, turkey, beef, etc.

    Don't stress on the junk food. If you want a little snack and it fits in your day, don't be scared to treat yourself.

    Agree.
