Another week of tweaking. One day I din't eat enough protein and I had to eat early the next day. Lesson learned.
Also I'm finding that as an older woman (73) I need less calories for my basically sedentary life-style than the RDA recommends. I eat until I'm full, keep my macro's balanced and exercise 3 times a week (swimming is great for arthritis!) and my energy keeps increasing, my sleep is better and my brain focus is brighter. So I'm not going to worry that I don't align with the "norm" (whatever that is).
One of the biggest (and hardest won) lessons I've learned is that EVERY body is different and we really do have to do our homework and find out what works for us in a healthy balanced way. The key to life is moderation and balance. Without that nothing works.
