Hi Jake,

I've always heard that you should have 10 - 12 times your body weight in calories... that would be somewhere between 1990 and 2388 calories a day. So, my initial thoughts are that you're not eating enough right now. Are you using Fitday.com to track your foods?

One of the wonderful things about the LC lifestyule is that it decreases our appetite, however, we it's important that we do not go into a starvation mode. I didn't see any vegetables or salad on your food list. That's one of the things that I would try to change right away. It's so important! I would also try to eat every 4 - 6 hours and at least three meals, preferably 4 - 6.

I would also encourage you to look at some of the recipes and try a variety of foods. If you eat the same thing everyday it's easy to get bored. Try Donald's Deep Dish pizza or Chicken with Broccoli and mushrooms for variety...believe me...you'll want to eat a little more if you enjoy what your eating.

Hope that's helpful
