Has anyone been asked to keep track of their net calories? The PA tells me that I am burning more muscle than fat. I exercise and was hoping that the fat was going, but that is not the case. So I am being told to keep my net calories around 1200 (or less). HELP.

Have a look at myfitnesspal.com where you can log your calories in a food and exercise diary. It will keep track of your net calories so you'll know where you are up to. They also have a great forum with lots of great help, just like here. Feel free to add me as a friend - I'm SageTracey there as well.
