Problem with Nutrient Goals
I am having trouble with my carb/fat.protien goals. In the past, I just counted calories, but I have read that the nutrient ratio is just as important. Though I have been at or below my calorie limit every day, my ratios are always different. I usually eat a lot of vegetables and maybe some lean meat with lunch. I work two…

Anyone else out there from Tulsa??
My name is Jenna, and I am interested in losing weight, but more importantly, building muscle mass. Would like to meet some friends nearby who are trying to get fit. I HATE exercise, but it's not so bad if you have a buddy.
