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?

Increasing calories as you exercise more?
My doctor started me on a 1,200 calorie/day diet as I was very sedentary due to a severe back issue. My back is getting better and I have begun to do some moderate waliking 3-5 times a week. How do I know how many extra calories to add? Also, how much protein should I be striving for?
