Default Re: Really down over here. Having a very hard time.

One reason I like FitDay is because it taught me that I was eating TOO FEW calories. And I was going into starvation mode. For me I am suppose to eat 1600-1750 calories to lose weight. I was eating around 1100-1200. I also like that it tells me what percentage of fat I am eating. So if my daily menu looks too light on something I can make up for it. This might be something to try even just for a week so you can get the proper ratios. I use a 65%fat/25%protein/5%carb ratio, sometimes a little higher on the fat, and a little less on the protein. And remember if you have a stubborn metabolism it might take awhile to fix it. That is what is happening to me, but I am not giving up, nor should you. Best of luck.
