Also - twistermom - you're probably going to want to use calories of, say 1400-1500 for carb down and 1900-2000 for carb up. The carb values can stay the same.

By the way: I'm not sure if the carbs really need to go up and down. It could be that just by increasing calories, metabolism will be juiced. I just don't know. If we didn't increase the carbs, but just the calories, it would be easier to keep from gaining weight. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
