With all of your running, 1200 sounds super low, 1500 sounds medium. 1500 is about what I aim for, but whenever I plug into fitness websites they are telling me 2000+, so I've been struggling with 'what the hell amount am I supposed to eat!' I eat really well, work out every day, but gained about 5 lbs in the past 3 months that won't go away! This entry that I'm reading is great though, and your blog is so inspirational!

Yes, cheese enchiladas are probably not a good idea, but you can have lighter Mexican food with all the flavor, like a salad with grilled chicken, pico de gallo and a bit of guac.
