Thanks to both of you~

That is encouraging...

One thing, in the reward meal...the most important thing is the proper ratio of protein, fats, and carbs...more so than calories? That I can't get over in my diet-driven mind.

Do either of you use extra flaxseed oil in your meals? I was told by so many people that i should increase my good oils and they suggested Udo's for that. I was going to add a tablespoon to my morning protein shake and maybe on some salad.

The other thing that stuck out from what you wrote, I can use the Atkins Advantage bars as a non-RM meal, can't I?

Thanks again...I appreciate it.
