Vegetables and Fruits.....do you log them?
I'm logging my veggies and fruits but just think to myself, what the heck is the purpose. I didn't get fat off eating vegetables so I don't think I will gain weight from eating however many I want.

Sodium!!! Ugghhhh!!!
Sodium is kicking my butt! I'm doing good staying within my calories but man my sodium levels go over by so much.

Fat in foods
Should I even worry about the fats in my food? And I don't mean burgers, I mean like cheese, milk, cottage cheese, etc. I've been buying 2% cheese, low fat cottage cheese, fat free half and half, etc. but I keep hearing that those kinds of fat fill you more, so should I just go for the regular cheese, cottage cheese,…

Snacks, snacks, snacks?
So I have been learning how to substitute certain foods as to decrease the calories, but then I found myself filling in the gaps with some healthy snacks or I should say, low calorie snacks.
