Whats your daily fat allowance set at ?
Hi there. Im doing my usual review of my calorie and allowances, for the week. Im personally on a 1200 - 1350 cals per day. Still got aprox 40lbs left to loose. I do not use the preset nutrition targets, as I like to intake 100-120 grams of protein, per day, as I do a lot of gym work. I set my fat at 25 grams. Just want to…

Safe protein intake ?
Im 42 year old female, 5.2 and currently 182lb. Im aiming for 140lbs, as I want to have a decent muscle build.

Iam I…
