I suppose you're right, Shark. I know it's not a contest, but I do have a bit of competition in my blood. I guess that's true about taking in that many carbs in the past. Just for fun, later today I'm going to tally up my normal pre-LC carb intake and find out where I was. Heck, lets just do it right here.

I just went back to the break room and bought a bag of cheetos and a coke (for experimentation purposes only - gave chips and coke away to co-worker)

(per can / bag)
Coke = 39g Carbs
Cheetos = 17g carbs

I would generally come to work and get maybe 5 cokes a day and two bags of cheetos. Then have lunch of something like a Fried Chicken Salad with Honey Dijon dressing from Bennigans and tea with Sweet and Low, then have maybe Long John Silvers for dinner.

carry the 1...

That's about 360 carbs a day that I was having and maintaining my existing weight.

Things that make ya go hmmmmmm.
