Macros for a diabetic
I know it's only calories that are important for weight loss but, as I'm getting closer to my goal, I'd like to ensure I'm eating a balanced diet too. I'm female, 52, 157cm tall and my cw is 57kg (125lb). I'm now in Normal BMI, but would like to get to the middle of Normal. MFP gives me 1200 calories and I eat back my…

Can find an item to add to my diary

Goal vs Net Calories
Hi everyone. My calorie goal is 1200 but I normally eat a bit above this, which is fine as I am slowly losing weight. I'm just happy tracking what I eat and ensuring that, generally, I'm eating sensibly. I exercise 4-5 days a week and eat some of those calories back. Today, exercise meant that my daily goal was increased…
