I have been eating organic veggies and fruits, and slowly reducing the amount of animal-based products (meat, fish, dairy) that I consume. I exercise every day. But now I seem to have broken out in what I think is eczema. It's all…

Plant-based metabolism reset - need help with carb/pro/fat %

Now that I have a better understanding of TDEE, I have two questions: 1) Should I try to…
