Switched to tracking my food on MFP so I can more easily track marcros. Upped my protein since I've been feeling super bingey lately, and acted a bit on that this weekend. Feeling much better today. Had a glass of wine with dinner last night. Just one. Which is a pretty huge success for me. Finally learning moderation with alcohol.
Super stressed with work and grad school applications. Just so much going on. Got my performance reviews this week, which went surprisingly well. Due to my weird job shift this year, I had a review from my old boss, my new boss, and my mentor. Way too many uncomfortable meetings. Got a 6% raise, but to be honest I still feel like I'm on the low side for my education level. Hopefully starting grad school will bump that up a bit.
This week's goals: hit protein targets each day, go biking at least 5 days, complete all school applications, keep my sanity.

Nice! I switched there Saturday for the same reason. I'm coming in under the cals I set...hitting my fats and carbs spot on, but can't hit the protein for the life of me. Is that gonna be a problem? I hope not, because I've been satisfied eating 3 meals and a snackiepoo or two a day.

Yep Northernmusician! You can modify macro targets instead of just calories

Christine, I think it just depends. For me, protein is my most important target, but also the most difficult to hit. Getting enough protein can help prevent muscle loss when losing weight, and can help you put on muscle when eating at a deficit. And it keeps me super full.

Thanks chickie. I'll probably try and focus on protein more in a few weeks or so after this yippee honeymoon phase wears off. Right now I'm just excited to be allowed more carbs and to be eating from all the food groups so I've been satisfying cravings and whatnot and not going over fats and carbs. I'm hitting the protein about 2/3 of the way for what it's set at. Gawwwd I love food! Lol

Haha yasss it's glorious! I haven't been this happy in forever. I'll sweat at the gym any day of the week if the reward is food from all 4! Lol

I like to eat meat so hitting protein is generally not an issue. You can also go with cottage cheese and greek yogurt if you can tolerate milk. Protein really keeps me full. I really like flexible eating.

Hmmm...since I pre-plan most meals the day before, I can see all my macros here on FS with the circular pie chart percentages and grams. What is different about MFP? Curious...

MFP gives you the ability to set targets for your macros. Which is useful for me, because I have the memory of a goldfish and can never remember what I'm supposed to be aiming for
