The 1800 Calorie Plan
The 1800 calorie plan was based on my weight at the time, which was 196 lbs. My goal was to lose 1 lb per week of fat, while maintaining as much muscle as possible. I used a balanced fat burning plan of 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 20% fat. I used an iPhone app called Tap & Track to easily record my daily food intake and exercise I did.

Whenever I ate bread or rice I made sure it was brown or whole wheat. Link to this post!
