Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…

Protein Powder??
What kind do you like? I can't stand chalky/gritty protein powder. Would like for it taste pretty decent. A little about me: I'm super close to being out of the 200s, lightly active except when I have to work (very physical job). I'm hoping to get the Ok to start Kick Boxing soon. Not necessarily for meal replacement,…

Go figure

Cutting fat?
How the heck do I cut fat? I'm trying to keep an eye on macros (just being mindful not strict). I am usually either just under or just over on protein, usually under a bit on Carbs, it is the dang fat that gets me. I am usually way over. Is being over on fat a big issue? I figured carbs would be my kicker.

No snacks :(
I forgot to add in 1 of my snacks to my lunch bag(I typically have 3 options). So that stinks but now I am screwed because the fruit I had both pieces have gone bad..

Calorie Question!
So today I had a bad day and ate 131 extra calories (after exercise). However Monday and Tuesday I have about 275 calories that I didn't eat. So in the end does everything average out? Insight would be AWESOME! Trying not to be hard on myself I just don't want to sabotage myself this time.
