You are doing things very right... Nice totals.. again little low on the protein.. shoot for about 100 and you will be sailing smooth. Carla

oh i didnt know i needed 100 protein. why? thanks for your help...  i hate eating all day. i will add another shake then... anita

My humble opinion about protein.  One we dont absorb so we need more.. two protein requires more work to process so we burn more calories assimulating it into our system.  Three the body likes to burn carbs first, fat second and protein last so if your diet is mostly protein you will burn the carbs than fat.  So.. if you have low carbs it goes to the fat in your body while the protein protects all the important organs. Thats just my opinion and why I try to keep my at 100 or above each day.  Ideally I would like mine to hit 120 but it doesnt always make that goal.  I do know that doing this, I have no fat on my body to speak of so I believe this is the reason why.  Again, just my humble opinion. Carla

ok i understand. i do exercise so really i do need more calories and protein... so low carb numbers are good? i will try to get it up there. anita
