Its not that you shouldnt have them, bu there is no official daily reccomended requirement. Just keep the majority of your fats as plant based and you will be in good shape. Monounsaturated is thebest!

I've logged it as calesthenics but I've also worn my heart rate monitor and just added a new exercise and entered my calories. You do so many different things in that hour its really hard to log otherwise. I love my class, by the way. Its not easy but thats what makes is so great. I feel like I've accomplished something at…

I dont know. I havent had one of those in years. I usually judge my snacks by the ingredients. If there is a bunch of stuff in it that you can't pronounce you might be better of making your own smoothie or if you dont have the time you could try one by Naked or Bolthouse.

Yeah you dont want to go too far under your goal. I got that once too - it seemed to think I was starving myself. Just try to stick close to your goal with out actually going over. 1200 isnt very many calories so you do probably want to increase it a bit if you went that far under your goal. And as others have said, it…

If you run out of protein powder greek yogurt is a good way to get in your protein. One serving has 22 grams. If you want to keep your sugar low you can get plain and eat it with fresh fruit or cereal, or you could make a good fruit smoothie with it. If you go the smoothie route I recommend adding a 1/2 tsp of vanilla…

If you have the calories available, by all means DO IT! 1 alcoholic beverage for women and 2 for men are actually recommended for heart health and other benefits as long as you can keep it in that moderation.

Charrisse you know I love you and I'd tell you if I thought something was wrong. You look good and you look healthy. Keep being balanced like you are and you WILL meet your goal in a healthy way. You are doing it the right way! Don't worry about them. I am sure they (at least the one that I have in mind) have good…
