Definitely do not want to sound like miss-know-it-all , but I noticed in your profile that you haven't read any of the books. You said it's hard to get about 1300 cals without eating carbs--but you're SUPPOSED to be eating carbs--up to 20 g. This adds a lot of versatility to your diet. Please read the book--it will REALLY, really help!

Good luck!!
