Carbs under a certain amount??

HI Tanya, I track protein, fluid and sugar (in that order).  I initially tracked just my fluid and protein but I quickly found out I couldn't tolerate more than 8 grams of sugar per serving so now I watch that very closely.  The carb's will be low if you follow the under 5g rule for sugar and fat.  I still don't count calories on a regular basis ~ maybe once a month to make sure I'm still within reason, haven't had a day over 700 yet.   Good luck...it's a constant learning curve.

This has all really helped!  It is so good to see how all of you are doing things.  I am so glad I found this forum!

I just keep track of the water and protein in my head that is all I do...I tried a oreo cookie the other day and oh my i ate it with no problem,..that is a problem i told me son and Hubby you want stuff like that keep it out of sight.
