Hi All - I have recently gone back to doing low carb, tried to eat in moderation and with my PCOS my body was just not having it.

Question for you all...
Over and over on these boards I see the calorie debate with 1200 cals. Just wondering, how many of you that say you are at 1200 cals, are only EATING 1200 or are you actually NETTING 1200?
