After a good solid month of getting back on track with exercise I relogged into MFP and my calorie count for a day with no exercise is and always has been 1200. Does this number ever change?
Also how do I avoid all the excess carbs? Most days when it is time for dinner I MFP is already showing a big red number.
I have been eating fairly well except for a couple days when I stop at McDonalds and get a small vanilla iced coffee before heading into work.
Breakfast has been usually plain oatmeal with some almond slivers. If I don't have the oatmeal then it is egg white omlet filled with veggies.
Snack can be PB with celery, yogurt with fruit, ect.
Lunch is a salad with mixed veggies, a little cheese, a couple of croutons but no dressing, w/ chix or turkey. If I don't have that then it is a whole bag of veggies steamed (usually between 150 - 250 depending on brand and veggies) with a little cheese and a pack of tuna fish.
Afternoon snack depends can be nuts, fresh or frozen fruit, pretzels.
Dinner varies depending upon if I have to work my part time job at night. If I don't have time to eat at night I will have a slim fast so I get some form of meal with protein. Otherwise I make a very balanced dinner and it is never over 500 cal.
Where can I cut carbs, or is it okay to be over due to the whole grains, fruit, and veggies.
