I can cook the scallops in butter & eat some more almonds. Funny thing is before I could get 2000 calories in half a day! Now I cant even hit 1000! Im not the least bit hungry either! Im going to stop the beer for a while & see if it really does or doesnt make a difference. If I had a few beers that would be almost 300 more calories--LOL - hmmmmmmmmmm, thinking about that now! I suppose I can find something more to eat with no carbs but high calories!
