Hi all

I just started PP yesterday. This is my first time low-carbing. I have been on various programs in the past, mainly WW, and lately, Body for Life/Body Rx. This WOE is taking me a bit to get used to.....I am having a hard time mentally getting used to being able to eat more fat, and not automatically going for the low-fat version. Plus getting used to counting my carbs!!!

A couple of questions..... do you count breading on shrimp/chicken as carbs? The carb counter book I have lists all proteins with no carbs at all (it is the PP one). Yet in fitday they do. Do I count them, and why does the book not bother?

Do I really not need to worry about how many calories I eat? Yesterday, I ate 2500 calories, most of them from fat. My protein requirement is 90 a day, and I ate 125, and 34 carbs.

Thanks for your help!
