Casey, I agree with you about the calorie thing. In the beginning I never counted, and then about 6 weeks in I discovered fit-day. I found that I was eating over 3000 calories, but I was losing weight. After a few months, my calorie intake went down as I became more accustomed to the food plan and introduced more vegetables/fruit into my daily diet. I lose best when I'm eating between 1300-1600 calories. Right now I'm just getting adjusted to induction and my calories have been between 1700-2300. I really miss the unlimited chopped romaine lettuce that I used to eat with tuna, chicken or something. Limited to 3 cups of veggies is the hardest part of induction right now.
