My menus over the weekend weren't good - was over on carbs Friday and Sunday. My weight is up to 177 lbs this AM - likely from the steroids I'm on from the latest fall. I was up most of the night after having my first - and I hope my last - experience with maltitol. I will diligently avoid anything containing this ingredient from now on.


Started watching my calorie per pound intake several weeks ago to try to drop 5 lbs or so by about March 15. Calories per pound 1517 / 174 = 8.72 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5).

Totals may not be accurate today - I wasn't sure what to do with sugar alcohols.
