Tracking carbs from fruits and veg vs. other carbs
Hey y'all, Any tricks for tracking carbs from fruits and veggies vs. other carbs?

20-somethings struggling with body positivity?
so i'm 27, i'm about 80 lbs overweight and have decided that i'm so, so tired of hating my body. it's the only one i have! so i guess i'm just in a bit of a tricky spot, because i do still really want to lose weight, and my biggest motivator is still the aesthetic part of it, not the health part, if i'm being completely…
