Yeah, just went to settings and it says its Public, but I don't see the button to View Diary when I go to my profile and obviously you cant see it either... uhhhhhhhh

Woops, I thought it was open

Wow, I was definitely only expecting a few responses! Thanks everyone.

Thanks all. I just remember meeting with a nutritionist on my campus last year and her telling me it's best to eat 2-3 eggs a week.... I was like eff that.

Well, i usually get at least 100g of protein a day. Been eating 40-50g of fat. I go to the gym on campus, so there's no trainers. Should I do any cardio at all?

Yeah... except I am clueless about toning. I just go to the gym and lift what ever looks appealing. I need to have some goal and I need to know what I'm doing. How long does it take to see results? Otherwise I just won't stick with it.

Well the healthy eating is not a problem. I just stray from it every now and then but only briefly! I need to focus on getting my minimum calories though, otherwise I will be under at the end of the day. I need exercise. I'm so unmotivated. Do you think its possible that I'm accumulating fat somehow if I'm eating healthy??

I have 30 day shred downloaded on my computer, as well as p90x and Insanity! The apartment room I'm living in is not enough space for me to be that active. And I don't want to do them in the living room where my other room mates could see me lol

Today I told myself I would eat better than yesterday, but I have no discipline sometimes.... Does walking around the mall count as exercise?

Yeah but how picky of an eater are you? I also dont have time to make extravagant meals being a college student... I have been wanting to invest in a protein powder but really want to choose a good one

I guess since I lowered my carbs and saw better results its just a fear in me to go over my carb intake, when it should probably be lower than where I have it now. Same with sodium. I am scared of both of those.

What is bm? I know I am not doing myself any favors, it's just seriously hard for me to reach 1200 calories without going over in all my macros. Once I hit my carb intake (150) and my sodium intake (1800), I refuse to go over. So I am left with meeting my macros but not my calories. What is a good protein powder? Should I…

Thanks so much... I am seeing the dietician from our college tomorrow thank goodness. I know it's not hard to get 1200 calories in, but I find that with how picky I am and my distaste for meat has me reaching all my macros and not my calories.... And I am concerned with macros more than being low on calories... if that…

I don't go past 150g of carbs

Exactly, that is why I haven't worked out... it would just be more energy and food I'd need to consume and I can't even meet my minimum requirements. I hope it's not cuz I haven't been exercising. I really don't know though... it's just discouraging to have a huge belly sticking out waaaay more than usual and you're not…

And I am also pretty terrified of gaining weight, so the fact that I have been within my macros has worked for me in the past, I guess I feel I should continue it

Thanks, veggies aren't my favorite but I know I need to eat them. They are so low in calories though so it's like whats the point?

So should I change my sodium to 2,500? I just don't want to be bloated. I have been told that I have an eating disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). In my case, yes I do overthink and tend to get obsessive

I had lowered my carbs due to suggestions on here, and i found that i lost more pounds quickly that way.

.......overthinking what?

I have been wanting to take up protein shakes for a while now, it's just the case of finding a good one. I tried one because it was cheap and it was gross.

Okay, thanks for that :D heh... another issue is that I am probably not getting all the nutrients I need... this medicine makes me only want to eat carbs and sweets.... definitely not meat. I try to eat meat and just feel sick. Vegetables too.

What type of protein powder did you use? Was it good? I bought one and cannot even smell it because it just doesn't agree with me.. This medication is meant to be long term. I called my doctor and told her the side effects I have been having besides no appetite and she decided to decrease my dose.. but the medication is…

Although not in my recent entries, my sugar intake is due mostly to milk and fruit.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Vegetables are so unappealing to me. I do like a side of green beans, broccoli, peas, carrots, potato. I am mostly a fruit eater and dairy eater, which is not good!! I'd love to eat more vegetables and cut out the dairy and sweets. They are just so unappealing to me.

It really depends, I try to go at least 3x/week. I don't particularly eat meat except at dinner time, so I rely on my protein from dairy and other things... which has sugar =/

I see so many people with their carb goal as less than 100 or more than 200. How do you know which is right for you?

What carb ratio do you recommend for someone eating 1200-1500 calories? I feel like it's going to be hard giving up carbs! I also have just not been into vegetables lately....=(

How many carbs should I be eating? I try to cut down but I love them =/

My problem is when I get certain "treats" to have, I plan on eating only a few but that never happens. I don't over indulge, but I either have the serving size or a little more. This past week I've been eating vanilla wafers and light reduced fat buttery crackers everyday. Small portions, though... should I just avoid…
