Seems that nearly half ur daily amount of carbs r in the first meal and nearly all the rest in the snack, I suspect the banana. I never consider a banana good for cutting and suggest u look for another carb source here.
BTW, what is the macro breakdown of the shake please. Thx!!!

I have a shake once in a great while but mine are much lower in carbs and higher in protein then the shakeology. It there a reason you picked shakeology?

we all days that are better than others...have more better ones

i chose shakeology sort of my accident.. i ordered some Eand E from body balance for some eneregy to get to the gym and a person contacted me.. yada yada.. saying shakeoleogy would help and it has helped people with other chronic illness...loaded with good nutrition.. well it is expenisve and i am not sure so it is worth it.

i need to rely more on food..but when my energy is low and i am sick...i just dont feel like eating- and alot of meat seems to be the last thing-- too hard on the digestion : ( progress.. i have to keep trying to make progress.. getting dumped and having the medical system degrade me all in one week.. no fun..

some shakes have too much fat and carbs for gals who are cutting. i was doing isagenix, but very pricey. i wised up after a bit once i realized what good nutrition was really all about.

miss ya when u disappear for a week!!!

missing ya on the board!

been working hard and want to make adjustments.. still wanting to lose 20lbs..

i found these formulas today .. maybe i am not getting enough cals and my body is hanging on to fat- ? i usually do 1500 to 1700 cals a day.. this says i need more like 2000 since i weight 195.
