Hi! My name is Susan and I'm a calorie counter too. I use Calorie King for my logging food and exercise. I have Celiac disease, so I can't consume anything with gluten in it which lets out probably 1/2 the foods on the market. So I tend to stick to natural foods like meats, dairy, fruits, veggies and some carbs in the form of sweet potatoes, potatoes, brown rice and corn and beans.
I follow the calorie counting plan whereby I determine my BMR and then subtract 1000 calories a day from that to lose 2 lbs per week approximately. Right now I'm at the 1700 calorie range. I add back in exercise calories burned to eat net calories each day or at least come pretty close to it.


Susan! Great group here, come on in and make yourself comfy!
