How many calories do you avergae now? Your baseline diet is going to make a big difference in how much you should eat for fat loss. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

So the fats carbs and protein look ok though? Should i start with 2800 calorieS? ============ Quoting from asimmer: The calories seem a little high to me.

Go on start with asimmers 2800 calories- if you gain weight or stay stable, then trim off just 200 calories a day the next week till you lose 1 pound in a week. That's a good idea to find a level! You know that this level will be lost again and you will need to trim back your food again and your goal achieved may bring a new diet from a new goal... BEST OF LUCK

That would make your carbs 280g - 210g, and your fat at 20% would be 62g (supplement with olive oil, flax oil, fish oil). The nutrition tracker can be tedious, buy a second hand copy of the book of food counts and learn the values of the foods you eat most commonly. Design a plan with the right amounts and make it a routine. Write it down in a notebook and track it until you get the hang of it. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
