Any time you eat less protein than you were, it's moving in the direction of pink. The diet % and numbers are only a guideline, it's not the type of diet where you have to do exactly perfect or you sway blue.Quote:

IT is not so much about how it sways per se, it's because eating nothing but chicken and fruit and sugar is a starvation diet that is unsustainable for people in the long term and not healthy pre-pregnancy anyway. YOu need to be able to include a variety of foods in your diet to be certain you're getting adequate nutrients and also because otherwise you'll go nuts and end up cheating.
