Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 You want to eat the most you can while still getting results, and you want an enjoyable and maintainable plan, because if it's something you can't keep doing, you're never going to stay with it long enough to achieve your goals, much less keep them. So, in that regard, you're doing great. Now, as to why that works for you and not someone else, people's metabolism and carb tolerance can really vary. Some people would surely gain weight on what you're eating, but as long as *you* are getting the results you want, don't worry about the other people. :-) > > Just for grins, since we've been reading/critiquing meals a lot lately, > thought I'd post what I ate yesterday.

Definately add more protien. Take the leap and use FitDay (its free)to track a few typical days - it might be an eye opener and with a few tweaks you will be less likely to nibble at snacks: http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Index.html Remeber its not always the calorie total of what you are eating, but the quality control used in your choices. joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
