Step 3. Set up your FitDay.com account

Create an account on Fitday.com and enter your custom daily nutrition goals.

I entered custom nutrition goals into my fitday.com account. Here are the goals I entered:
  • Calories (from my blog Step 1) 1,403 
  • Protein grams between 75-80 per day
  • Carbs* 50-100 per day, per The Primal Blueprint
Erik's fitday.com daily nutrition goals:
  • Calories (from my blog Step 1) 2,592 
  • Protein grams between 100-115 per day
  • Carbs* 50-100 per day, per The Primal Blueprint
TIP:
"While the 'eating fat is okay for weight loss' idea might seem contradictory at first glance, it is valid; without insulin, eating fat will not make you fat!"
-Mark Sisson, The Primal Blueprint, p. 225

*Carbohydrates: Daily Needs
How many carbohydrates to eat per day?
Short answer for everyone who wants to lose weight: 50 to 100 "carbs" per day, if you are trying to lose weight the Primal Blueprint way. You will eat whole, unprocessed, natural carbs, mostly in the form of plant matter (some vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruits).
