I'm very very new to eating healthy. I was raised on McDonalds and have been largely overweight (like 50-100+ lbs) my entire life. I know I'm not going to lose all my extra weight before the wedding but I'd like to lose a little so I'm dieting/trying to change eating habits. I use MyFitnessPal to help calculate what I should be eating everyday. I've already entered my meals for today, and I'm over my 'protein goal' for today and still have like 800 calories left. How can I eat enough today to not put my body in the mysterious, controversial 'starvation mode' but not eat empty calories just to say I've had enough today?
Or should I ignore the calorie intake or protein goal all together and just eat what I have planned? Any other tips would be awesome!
