I'm doing something wrong...
Yes, I know I've had a couple of days ( way) over with the calories - Saturday we went to a Brazilian BBQ and I completely guessed at 2000 calories ( I really have no earthly idea- had the meat and veggies and cheese from salad bar, no side dishes and no dessert) and one Thursday I forgot to enter in my dinner so it looked…
