Any tips on how to reduce stomach inflammation??
I have exhausted every piece of advice online about how to reduce stomach inflammation and nothing works for me- I have a rare condition called MCAS that causes all the inflammatory responses.

Calories in Alcohol

How do you decide how many calories or macros?
So I see that you can go on and plug in your weight age and things like that and it’ll say here or use this many calories. And you can do the same to get your macros.

Exercise control via exercise
Whenever I feel like I've hit rock bottom in life I attack my weight.
