Losing at a little faster rate now

 So it could be coincidence, but I thought i would post anyway.  I had a couple changes over the last week, and my weight loss has since accelerated a bit.  

Change 1:  Added back the fish oil capsules.  Costco has a mini capsule- I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night.  Someone posted about this a while back so I thought now was a great time to add it back in and see what happens.

Change 2:  My recent NUT appointment recognized that my protein target was too low.  It is now ramped up 8 grams more.

Change 3:  This one is painful.  The NUT gave me a ceiling of 600 calories.  Previously my range was 600-800 calories.  I did not hit 800 often, but 700 was typical in weeks 4-5.  

So far so good :)  Not sure which of the 3 is doing it, or just the combination, but I'll take it :)

Thats great that one or all have sped up the process. The fish oil sounds like a good idea.

Food Notes

Surprised the scallops were so much lower in cals for the same protein as the ground turkey. Note to self- more scallops in the diet :0)

 Tried to post a couple days of cut and paste from myfitnesspal.  Didn't work so good.  Friend me over there and maybe you can see my food diary then?

I was planning on a trip to costco today.  I'm adding fish oil to the list!  Do the pills give you any fishy burps or odors?  Thanks for the tip!

 No issues with the fish oil.  I even take the morning three with other supplements on an empty stomach and have no issue.  Then again, I could probably tolerate eating a tin can.
