Keto & Calories
I'm rather new to the keto way of eating. I was wondering if any of you just watch carbs and ignore the calories or do you track both. From what I've read while researching keto diets you don't need to worry about calories to much (I know you can't have a free for all though). I ask because I feel like my old mindset is…

Where do you live?

I hope you don't mind my asking. I lost 30 pounds last year using MFP but gained it and another 12 back during a stressful time period. I…

1st meeting

Another "numbers" question
I am trying to figure out my BMR & TDEE (not good at even simple math :frown: ) A couple people (not members of this group) sent me a pm and gave me different numbers so I wanted to ask this group here as you have more experience with it. I am a 45 year old female. 5'2" tall, weigh 217pounds. I have a pretty sedentary job…

Do you have a low fat quiche recipe?
My husband loves quiche and I used to make it quite often. However, I haven't made one since I started working on my weight (again) 2 months ago. He was mentioning that he would love to have quiche for dinner. I was wondering if anyone had a good low fat recipe for one? Thanks.
