Hi there Halo_Slips,

PROTEIN

There is a minimum of protein intake for women. And that is 60 gms/ day. To find out which is your correct intake of protein you have to do the following.

Multiply your Lean Body mass by:

.6 if you are slightly active
.8 if you are moderately active
.9/.10 if you are an athlete


My LBM is 125 lbs X .6 = 75 gms a day

CARBOHYDRATES AND FIBER:

Fitday gives you your total carbohydrate intake for the day. Remember that you need to sustract the fiber:

Your carb intake was 18 gms minus 7 gms of fiber = 11 gms of net carbs.

you see! you could have there about 8 gms more of Carbs.

You are doing very good. Don't get scared with the numbers, please.
Once you get this little tricks you will be able to get your stats right.

Imagine, today I had 39 net grams of CARBS!!!!
Is not always that easy.

Hope this little tips and tricks can help you out.

I will come back to check how you are doing. What do you think if we do this for 1 more week, until you get the hang of it?

Let me know what you think ok.

Take care, and see you tomorrow.
