Bawdy gave you some good suggestions
I have been on PP for about 6 weeks now, and have been steadily losing. I have a lot of weight to lose, however. One thing that the book does mention is that when you get closer to your goal weight, you may have to cut calories a bit. Personally, my calories are about 1900-2200 a day, and my fat is closer to Atkins level. But, for my size (246 lbs) that seems to work - for now. I am sure once I get closer to my goal of 140, I will be dropping the fat and calories too.
I do eat out a lot. In general, the palm of your hand is about 3 oz of protein, which is 20 gms or so. I learned protein grams when I was doing body for life and body rx, where you kept track of protein. Just be careful when eating out.....all kinds of potential for hidden carbs!!
Read the book.....It is a great program!!
