there are natural carbs in fruit and vegetables. you maybe need to have more content in either your lunch or evening meal. to eat too little you may not see the scales move the right way.

thank you for all your points of views. ideally id like to lose 30lbs and aim to have the right amount of protein for my weight currently. I train on my 5:2 days and I do this to make a defecit in calories, but no I don't weigh any foods at the moment. I just try to not eat white bread, pasta and potaotes. I have pcos and…

hmm ok, will up the protein, I already do cut back on carbs, and on the days I don't train I try not to have carbs except those that are in veg. I will try cutting down the weight and do more reps to see if that helps. 10 is the heaviest but some exercises I use only 5kg

that's too low, increase it to 1200 minimum or you will put your body into starvation mode and it will hold on to anything you eat. I do the 5:2 intermittent fasting and it works.

thanks, that's a good idea of the top 25 items. we cant buy cottage cheese here in Saudi Arabia (were here for 3 years) no pork either. lol the yoghurt is very strange but I will look into that.

yes I track more protein than I do carbs but I try to limit to low gi carbs.

thanks ladies, probably am being too impatient. my clothes do feel looser and I don't own a set of scales at the moment. lol! my ratios are not far of the 40/30/30 ratio. I am going to be strict this week and note everything on mfp. ana3067 I read your profile, you really are into macronutrients. that's good.
