I have waited most of the year to be able to pay for the Carbon Diet Coach app and finally was able to! I've only used it for 2 days but already find it much easier to use than MyFitnessPal. It has my maintenance calories a little low at 2072 and has me at 1679 to lose 1 pound a week but I decided to let the coach figure it out for me as the weeks go by.
I had to choose the "Plant-Based" setting to be able to lower my protein down to 90 grams but I'm thankful that they do have that setting because "Balanced" only allows me to go as low as 114g and that was NOT going to work for me, that's too much protein!
I'm also not sure if I chose the right exercise setting - it was either moderate or intense and I chose moderate because I exercise 5-6 days a week, not everyday as the intense setting requires but I do 4 days of hiking and sometimes I'm hiking for almost 2 hours, so maybe I should choose intense??
I'm starting at 161 pounds on my old scale, 165.4 pounds on my new digital scale and 23.5% body fat, though I think that is about 2% off and I'm probably more around 25.5% body fat. I also did my measurements today and will do those once a week. I put my weight goal at 150 pounds but I am not aiming for a certain number because I will know when I'm at goal based on my measurements. At 120 pounds of lean body mass currently, I'm thinking 145-150 is probably going to be the best range for me.
