Makes no sense! That’s okay; yesterday’s drop was a surprise anyway.
I was under my RDI yesterday but my macros were off. Low carb but higher fat percentages. I think lower carb with higher protein works for me, but not lower carb and higher fat. Yet higher protein makes it harder to stay under the RDI. This is complicated!

Sometimes I spend such a long time calculating everything..over and over again

Yes, the time spent calculating! I have to say, though, that it is becoming less of a chore. I have a better mental picture/understanding of what and how much to eat and what does or doesn’t fit in my plan.
Sticking to it, on the other hand.......I do well, mostly, with a day here or there that doesn’t quite go to plan.

Target protein to be 1 gram to every pound of body weight you are.

Thank you for the tip; I’ll look into that, and I’ll see how I’ve been averaging up to this point to determine whether it is attainable in my diet. :)

We're all different as far as what we need - fat satiates me more than protein. I found that the thing that made a real difference was tracking and increasing fiber. I was amazed when I first starting paying attention that my fiber intake was so low. I don't do processed food at all -no meat and lots of veg so I was really surprised at the effort I had to make to get the fiber number up where it should be. I have to supplement.

Good point.
I had a look at my protein intake and just can’t imagine how I would consume 1g/lb of body weight. FS recommends I get 100g daily but I typically only get about half that. So I should try to increase, but I don’t think I’ll meet the 100g, and certainly not the 1g/lb, at this point. Maybe I’ll try to get closer to 70-75g/day?

@vancouver, fibre is important and as someone who eats a lot of veg, I can relate to finding out the fibre intake is insufficient.

Protein is so important. They say to aim 0.8g to 1.0g per lb of body weight. An easy way to increase your daily protein is to eat egg whites. They’re high in protein and low calorie. I would also add Greek yoghurt as a snack. That will increase your daily protein as well. For main meals, chicken, fish/tuna, and low fat meats are all great options. Beans are also good but they are high in carbs which isn’t a bad thing but personally they don’t satiate me as much as other proteins.
