thank you all so much!! i will get a food scale and keep trucking along.

the 1200 was what myfitnesspal gave me when i was trying to drop 2lbs a week many years ago, which is crazy because i was 147 at that time so idk what i was doing. i keep myself around 1500 /1600 calories. what kind of scale do you recommend?
