What to bring for dessert?
We'll be going to my grandparent's house for the 4th and I'm supposed to be bringing dessert.

After falling into the trap of MFP and their 1200 cal/day plan, I did some more research and came across a couple different calculators that were recommended here. I'm a little confused of which to apply or if I should find an average between them. I did all calculations at little to no exercise (though I do exercise 3…
