Default Food stuff

OK, here's my stuff for today:
Cals: 2147
Fat: 46%
Carb: 28%
Pro: 27%

Not fantastic... but not bad either. My protein is at 139grams, which is higher than my bodyweight, but the percent seems low because of all the fats I'm eating with some of these recipes. I had just kind of been tracking to see where I was, but I needed to go back and plug my info into those NROL4W equations again to see how much I should actually be eating... here's what it told me:

For a 23 yr old (in 2 weeks, lol, close enough) female at 130lbs and 5'4":
RMR should be 1219

For maintanence:
No workout: 1950 cals
Workout: 2194

For fat loss:
No workout: 1650 (ouch)
Workout: 1894

So now I have something to strive for. Obviously my intake last weekend would not have helped any fat loss efforts, but here are my averages since I re-started tracking, aka Jan 26 or so:

Avg Cals: 1900
Avg Protein %: 27.5:

*this is NOT counting my saturday full of delicious but high calorie food that I couldn't track.

For fat loss my average should have been:
Cals: 1750

So I guess that explains why the scale doesn't ever move. Always just around maintanence. I will try to cut some cals for the rest of the month, but it likely be difficult. With my birthday and going out with the family and everything, this could get interesting, but we shall see! I'm trying!
