1,000 Calories Per Day Diet
I have a quick question about the number of calories I was told to consume. I have a nutritionist I work with.

First Day
Hello all, I’m new to MyFitnessPal.com. Today is my first day and I’m e-x-c-i-t-e-d! I’ve decided it’s time to do something about being fluffy. I’m 46, 4’10” and 165. Something needs to be done!
