Pregnancy Nutrition Help
I recently found out that I'm pregnant. I normally keep my calories to an average of 1400/day during the week but I go way over on weekends in part because I will go out for drinks. I've been mostly just maintaining my weight. Now that I'm pregnant and have cut out the weekend drinks and daily morning latte I would need to…

Valentine's Day at Home Suggestions?

Are these machines not really that accurate, or could that be true?

Am I leaving too many calories??
Most days I am under by a few hundred, which I don't feel is too bad. However, on days that I take my boxing class I am way under. My boxing class (according to this website) burns anywhere from 500-800 calories or more. So last night I was still under my calories by almost 900. I ate a snack, but I don't want to start…

Need help determining carb/fat/protein goals
I've only been using this site for a few weeks, but am definitely finding it helpful. I used the automated goals, but am not sure how to determine if they are what's best for me. I always go over my protein, never reach the goal for carbs, and am usually just below the goal for fats. Should I not worry as long as I'm…
