Thanks to both of you for the input!
I am terrible about recording my water intake, I don't think that it has ever been accurate. I usually drink about 4 pint glasses in the evening when I am home, some with dinner and then throughout the evening (more if I exercise). During the day at work I usually manage 4-5 as well. I'll update that to be more accurate. I'm also cutting waaayyy back on the diet soda. I usually had a 44oz (1/2 of which was ice) in the am. Cut back to a 20oz bottle this morning then water the rest of the way out, and no one has died. Bit of a headache, but I'm sure caffeine w/d will do that to you.
The chocolate shavings are overestimated (which I prefer to under!), and are likely the result of it being that fun, overly-hormonal time of the month. I can usually avoid the chocolate just fine. Yes, we have cocoa powder, but this tastes a bit better. I'll be dropping it though in favor of a piece of small fruit (it hit the trash this morning before I left the house!). Blood oranges are in season, so I should be able to have half a day and still stay quite low on net carbs. I'll look into the natual PB. The 'natual' label will probably keep my roomie from eating it as well!
I was actually concerned that I was too high in % fat & not a comparable amount of protein. I am eating till full, I feel sated. I'll try to add more meat or an egg snack to up the cal/fat/pro. I'm also trying to up the meat portion sizes a bit to up calories, but I've been better about stopping eating when full. I hate that over-full feeling! Monday at <900 cals was not good I know...just rough day at work and I skipped lunch without realising it.
I'll also add the skin back to my chicken. I'm not big into fatty meats- probably all those years without, so the greasy parts have a gross-out factor.
I know that PP plans forcus on a minimum protein, and I was busy making sure I got that- I just didn't realise till I started fitday that I ate so much protein! And I thought that one g pro = 7 cal? I didn't realise that fitday didn't do that. So my calories each day are a little higher then, correct? What are the number of cals per g of carb? I have to go dig out my book! I'll be interested to see my food intake over time.
Thanks for the help!!
