When it comes to macros...
MFP set my daily macros at 55% carbs, 25% fat, and 20% protein. I just recently started watching those numbers with my daily intake of food. Just a quick question... do they really matter? I know some diets promote high fat/high protein and low carb. Other diets are carb-based with protein, but low fat. So I'm curious to…

1200 vs 1300 -- huge difference!
When I first started MFP almost a year ago, I was eating 1200 calories.

I would also eat back some of my exercise calories. Due to personal reasons, I ended up taking a break…
