Any Advice for a Newly Pregnant Woman?

Small NSV (or 2)!

I stepped on the scale today and it said 159.8! I'm taking it with a grain of salt because I know there are daily weight fluctuations, but it's the first time I've seen…

TDEE IIFYM Help!
So, I want to switch to TDEE - 20%. I think I have been eating approximately this much on a daily basis anyways, but I want to make sure my macros are set right. I have my macros set to 25c/40p/35f here, but I was wondering if anyone has advice on sticking to them. I typically eat a lot of carbs (mainly from fruit and…
