Like I said, this is years of research. I've been studying nutrition for 20 years and pharmacy for 12 years. I left the information here for people who don't have a plan and don't know anything about food tracking. It's a take it or leave it thing. Just trying to help.

It's the RDA for carbs. The only organ in the body that is fueled solely by carbs is the brain and that's the minimum brain fuel required. Also, new studies show low carb diets are more prone to causing dementia. So like I said for weight loss and for temporary use there are acceptable reason for a low carb diet but it's not optimal for health and the long term.

  • I went to the Mayo Clinic website and entered my info. 1950 calories seems like a lot to me. But I’ve been eating around 1300 on my weight loss journey. Love this info tho!

kimkat117

That's great that means you have a deficit of 650 calories a day plus your exercise! (The 1950 is what you would need to maintain your current weight)

I like Mayo Clinic too! I follow their diet and use their food journals.

Hey guys! I'm really trying to work on my diet. Balance good nutrition with things I enjoy eating. What's your go-to snack that doesn't blow your calorie count for the day??

Protein yogurt, hard boiled egg white only, peppers, and protein bars if my meal will be later than usual so I can last without binging on something. Those are my go to things.

Oh, and freeze dried fruit packs. I make sure to get ones that have no added sugar.

Thank you uninstalled and downloaded now it is working again, never had that issue before glad it’s resolved :blush::blush:

I had that issue with the app today and it's never happened to me before either! I used the website instead. I'll uninstall and reinstall now and see if that fixes the app issue.

  • Haven’t run in over a week but I’ve noticed the sweats I usually wear are looser now and I was able to run for longer 😊
