Calories on low carb? Help??
I am just starting low carb. I have been aiming at 1200 calories a day. (Between 30-40 carbs, high fat and protein.) In doing so I have been over my calories nearly everyday. Usually hit about 1400. Is this too high of a calorie count or are calories not so much a factor?
