Calculating Macros?
People keep talking about macros... How do I find out what mine are? I'm 28, 5'4" and 155lbs trying to lose about 10% body fat, have a sedentary job (desk job) for 10 hours. I'm currently following a paleo meal plan in that I don't eat processed foods as much as possible and I don't eat dairy. Help!

Caffiene?
On my food guide for gastric bypass, it tells me to avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks. The carbonation I understand, but does anyone know when I'll be able to have caffeine again?
