YA!!! I finally made closer to my calories today!!

I need to figure out how to get them cleanly though

8:00 PM
Turkey
½ cup potato salad
1/8 cup onions
2 cookies (had to TRY and get ALL of my calories somehow today)

Total Calories = 1508
Protein 109 g (30%)
Carbs 164 g (43%)
Fat 49 g (29%)

I am thinking that I need to reduce my carbs a little as well as increase my fat...all while adding calories!!

You should be ok with 145 grams of carbs a day if you're keeping your macros where they need to be. When trying to build muscle, carbs are important. Lookin' good, girl!
