After reading about this in the forum and surfing a bit I understand the importance of maintaining high calories and the fat/protein ratio. What I wonder is

1. As we lose weight, when should we adjust our minimum caloric intake to reflect our new weight? every 10 lbs lost drop 100 calories, or every 50 pounds reduce 200? Should we at all?
(I am not weighing in on a regular basis, but prefer to use measurements so I haven't a clue as to how I will do my adjustments. )

2. How does the 70-80%Fat ratio change as we add carbs into our diet for OWL? Do the carbs replace Fat calories or Protien calories or a bit of both?

I keep looking at the overall balance of my meals, trying and mostly succeeding at not overloading any one meal with carbs or protein, or fat. I have stuck to the Atkins Induction very closely, and am looking forward to adding a new serving of veg. as I find it difficult to get enough carbs if I don't have a snack. Geesh, imagine forcing yourself to go have a snack!
