What do I set my activity level at? Is the mfp calorie goal accurate?
I am a stay at home mom and I clean an Airbnb 1-2 days a week. When I am home all day, I can be somewhat sedentary.

What do you eat at restaurants?
Hello, today we ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant and I tried to keep it low carb. I basically had chicken fajitas without any sides and I added cheese to the chicken.

Should I eat this? (Pic)
This trail mix looks so good, but it does have a small amount of added sugar. It only has 9g carbs, but 7g of fiber. I'm really not sure if I should eat this or not.
