Learning an app.

.
.
Bit by bit I am figuring out the food logging app "Lose It!".  The first arrangements were simple.  Just getting the food logging portion going.  Okay, that was simple enough.  And it seems accurate, going by blood sugar and weight loss.  Perhaps.  Then, I figured out how to put weight in, and set that up.  I am roughly learning to train the app, for things like a fatted coffee... so I don't have to put the mixture ingredients in singularly, just let it set up my usual and one click that.  I then added a macronutrient goal... micronutrient?  Whatever.  I set up a goal for carbs.  I'm not sure I set it up right though.

Anyway.  Each day I have been trying to sort some aspect or another of the app.  Today I finished the rest of the... macronutrients, I believe.  Along with carbohydrates, there are fats and proteins.  Calories were set up at the start, as part of logging.  At max weight loss, for within it's allowances, I am allowed 1655 calories... without activity.  I had to reconfigure carbs today, and had to figure out how to dump certain goals.  I couldn't get the percentage to list correctly, so went with grams... which took a bit of math and memory... plus removing the other goal.

As is, total, I have it set at 1,655 calories, 25 grams of carbs (max), 35% protein max (if I will inevitably go over, until I figure menus out) and 75% max for fats, which I actually want to be under... once I get well and deeply into keto.  I don't think I am there.  For now, fats are my goal.  At that level, so as to cut carbs and proteins.  I may have to go over calorie goals for a while, to get enough fat in, in order to obtain ketosis.  Ugh!!!

Just... finally... have it all set up.  But that is for optimal operation, AFTER I reach ketosis.  Until then, I need to add extra fat, which means calories.  Still, that will make cutting calories easy, in time.  While in ketosis, consumption is almost a chore.  I really need extra heavy cream.  That is the easiest way to add fat.  Tastiest too.  Plus it has no carbs or protein.  I'll... figure that out.  Now that I have the app pretty much set up, I was able to plan.  And... the plan requires a small amount of divergence.

Oh, the meat only goulash, leftover green beans, and skinless chicken thigh was a very nice breakfast.  I only had one, as I offered one to Boss, if I'm not sure he will eat it.  Will see in a while.  I really wanted it, too.  Still, good to share, or offer?  Dunno.  But it was quite good.  Later.
