Happy St Patty's Day to y'all. Sorry I was absent yesterday. Will go read the yesterday's thread after this post.

My menu was good yesterday. I'm still retaining water.

Started watching my calorie per pound intake several weeks ago to try to drop 5 lbs or so for the hiking season - began at 177lbs. My weight is going back down now that the cause of my swelling has be found - an infection. It's 174.5 today. Calories per pound 1560 / 174 = 8.97 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5).
