Hello everyone!

Not new to tracking my calorie intake or exercise�. Been trying to use an online now more often than just a journal, been using Livestrong on and off for the last few weeks but I don�t really like it� I like how FitDay uses graphs and charts�. Sure do love me some graphs and charts�.Especially because I'm a pescaterian (the only meat I eat is fish), it is important for me to know what I am eating and how much of it.

I guess my current source of confusion is wondering how do you know how much fat/carbs/protein/sugars to eat? I know how many calories I should have, but the rest seems so confusing to figure out�.

My goal is to build some muscle and lose some fat. I've been running 20-40 minutes 2-3 during the work week then at least an hour on Sundays but those long runs are more like run/walk/hike/explore type adventures.
