Im doing 40/30/30 right now. I'm doing 30-40 mins of cardio every other day and on the off days, I do a 20 minute walk. Thanks for the responses!

Thanks to everyone that volunteered advice and suggestions. Feel free to keep in touch. Im new to this weightloss thing and I know I will need help. MFP username is tommurry if anyone wants to add me.

I did the calculator for the BMR and it says I need to eat 1946 cal/day whereas MFP said 1640. I also changed the carbs to 40, fat to 30 and proteins 30. See how that works for me for awhile. Thanks again to everyone trying to help me out.

i DO need to drink more water for sure! im just going on the numbers MFP gave me. is that bad?

how do i reset my fat and protein?

My calorie goal I think is 1640 and Im eating 1450-1700 per day, based on where I am. Never going over more than a couple of calories. I went ahead and made my diary public. Its only showing a few days, but I guess its a starting point.

Im usually within 10-15g of my target protein number. the first few days, I went over 20-30, then I got it to where I was 3-4 over/under. Now Im able to be around 10-15 under most days. I do go 5 over now and then, but I really try to monitor myself. I WILL read all that stuff. Im not worried about the time it takes to do…

How does what you eat have anything to do with me? I dont know if my diary is open or not. Im still new to this. I'm 5'8 if that matters.
