Looks like it's about right, but go to Fitday.com to make sure. A few handfuls of nuts could really add up in the calorie department. I rely on nuts because they help fill me up, but I have to watch out because they are addictive - would be easy to eat too many without realizing it.

THey say a rule of thumb is a calorie intake that is between 10 and 12 x your weight (meaning, if I weigh 133, then somewhere between 1300 and 1500 calories is right for me if I am trying to lose weight). THe Atkins magic is that I can sustain myself on that amount of calories without being hungry. Some people stall because they are eating too much - no big mystery! But it sounds as though you are not actually stalling at all.
