When we originally started off we worried about all nutrients and tried to cut back on them whenever we could, but we have come to find that it's really calories, protein, fat, and fortified foods like vitamins and foods that are practically vitamins like cereals, power bars, etc. If you want to cut off the skins, that's fine, but I doubt they do anything at all and add in some of that control freak, detail oriented energy to your sway that may undermine a sway way more than a small bit of nutrients in an appel peel could. So long story short, you don't need to peel anything.
No. You need to eat more. Only maybe 1-3% of people should be on such a low cal intake. 1500-1800 for most, and a large minority have to go up to 1800-2000.
I don't want you guys to drop below BMI 18.5 under any circumstances and at BMI 21, you need to stop losing and try to hold steady so you have a small margin for errror in case weight keeps creeping off. YOu're at BMI 20 now so the weight loss has to stop, eat however much it takes to keep weight on, try to still keep protein and fat in the range though.

Thank you Atomic! I will not worry about peeling my fruits and veggies. I am very much detail oriented and a control freak, lol, (working on this, lol) so I will not worry about the skins.
Yay! I am happy to increase my calories I will really miss my Rice Krispies treats but I will find another snack to enjoy. I will count and ensure I stay within the nutrient ranges. Thank you!

The occasional rice krispie treat is 100% allowed. What we don't want to see is you guys having big bowls of cereal and other fortified foods every day.

What is the best app to use for LE diet and counting calories, fat and protein? I have been using Fat Secret. Is this a good app?

i personally think it's probably best to just use a paper and a pen. Many of the apps have unreliable nutrient info and you're probably better off just looking them up on the packaging or online yourself. But yes many people use that one or My Fitness Pal, whichever is easier.

Is there a list somewhere of fortified foods to try to avoid for girl sway, or should I just use the Grade D list in the 21 day meal plan? Are there other foods I should try not to eat too often that aren’t on that list?

Oh gosh if I made a list of those it would be ten miles long! So many on the market.
There are foods that have a ~little~ fortification in them (like bread, pasta, even rice) and those are ok. Many grain foods have a little iron and folic added to them and that is nothing to worry about.
What you want to avoid are the ones that have an entire pharmacopia of vitamins in them like power bars, meal replacer shakes, Vitamin Water, breakfast cereals...the things you look down the label and there is 25-100% DRV of like every single nutrient ever discovered and then some extra stuff thrown in there just in case LOL.

Hi! I am lost! I just purchased:
"The Complete TTC a Girl Package- Swaying Plan, Coaching, Meal Plan and all eBooks for one year"
But I can't find anything! It does show under my active subscriptions, but I don't see any downloads or way to get started.
Sorry if I am misunderstanding the process.
