Calories vs. Carbs
When I first started this journey in April, I counted carbs and kept them under 50. But since I've been actually tracking my food on here, I stay under my calorie limit of 1700, but the carbs MFP allots me is well over 200. And so I'm struggling with that. Do I change the carbs manually to a number I'm more comfortable…

Then I minus 25% and get 1839. Should I go somewhere in the middle, go with MFP or go with the 1839? I know it will be trial by error. Just…
