Intermittend fasting vs. proteins supply
I started interval/intermittend fasting before my vacation. 12/12 - the easy start, although perhaps I do not make it quite so simple, because I put the 12 hours without food on the day - as a rule, it should be the night.

When You Want to Eat Healthy, Then Don't.
I need a new approach to nutrition. I've been ultra lazy and really eating too many calories of garbage. I want to eat healthy, and then I don't. I know I can eat healthy, I'm just doomed with inconsistency. Maybe I can hold my self more accountable for my daily nutrition posting here.

Protein target changes
Whenever I change my protein target under the goal section, the value that I enter never reflects on the main goal homepage. For example, I want to set my protein target to 100g, so I changed it in the goal section, however on the main page it shows my protein goal as 117g. Why does it change?
