haha well I've never had this problem before either!!

Yes, the gym at my school is very nice. I have just found it easier to work out at home because I can just walk downstairs and I'm there.

Also, I have a fit bit and use it every day. I average between 10,000-12,000 steps a day. My car was stolen recently so I walk to school several times a day. (So generally throughout the day I walk between 2-4 miles)

Wow, I extremely appreciate all of the comments, thanks! I want to say first off that even though I have been a member for a while, I am still new to MFP. I did not realize that MFP offered the same tools as the other website, it makes more sense to just stay on one website, so thanks for that! I want to give more…

So, can someone help me? How many calories- fat/protein/carbs should I aim for each day?
-
Yeah, I have it at lightly active. Seems like the general opinion is that the calculator is not exact. How did I get fat? When I turned 21 I started brewing beer, drinking beer, collecting beer, thinking about beer...etc. I pretty much stopped drinking alcohol this summer (except for occasion) and have lost a a bunch of…

haha, yes. I have really high blood pressure for being 22. Mainly from stress caused by school (and poor diet and exercise) --- Does sodium effect blood pressure?
-
So far so good! The one problem am having is restricting how much sodium I eat. Even when I watch what I eat all day I am still way over.

Haha, I am so busy. I don't have time to eat that many times a day. I eat 3 meals a day and maybe have one snack between 10am-5pm.
-
Well I appreciate all of the advice that I have been given already! Thank you all for being so welcoming!

Thanks guys. Today I did a trial run of counting my calories at least. MFP says I should be eating 1977 calories a day, and I ended up 10 calories over that. Is this an accurate calories per day goal or should I be eating more or less?

Absolutely!
