Yes it's perfect.

Butter and mayonnaise are also good sources of both cals and fat.

PROTEIN IS 40-50 G.

Someone has been going around telling people 30-40. It has to be coming from IG because it isn't coming from me. 40-50 g of protein is the lowest safe protein intake for a woman of childbearing years, no one go below 40 g.

It doesn't matter, whatever works. Yes, it's ~best~ to stick to transfats like in margarine BUT I think you need to eat what you like above all else. I got my girl eating butter and mayo for my fats.

In the Dream Members section, there are a lot of threads that can help with diet.

Whipped cream on meringue nest, yum!!! (I'm slowly getting a bit addicted to meringue nests)

Thank you atomic, today I added more greek yoghurt to the meal with 0.1 fat. So that gave me 10 more protein. I also had 2 chocolat candy bar with 10 fat, I am now in the limits I think. But do you think spelt is fine? Wondering if I should stay with white noodles. I just thought I read somewhere that spelt raises your bloddsugar very slowly and I though that might be better, but then again it has more nutritions. I am surprised that you say I should not count the vegetables. they really give a good amount of protein! I still haven't found any cheese with less salt in it. Very difficult. Especialy parmesan has tons of it. So I stay with greek yoghurt. I decided not to drink any milk because I read that raises bloodsugar.
I feel cold the entire day, I wonder if that has to do with the diet. But great thing is I don't feel hungry at all. But cannot use the lo either... strange thing what this diet does to me...

I'm doing a lot better with the hunger but last night I was getting dizzy from not eating meat so I had chicken but still stayed on track with my protein I did a lot better with potassium today and yesterday too I think I'm getting better and I am now down three pounds :)

Since I got this app I know for fact I have never gotten the amount of potassium I should be!

hey as pp, eat more!

I use myfitness pal and keep in stock mentos (fat/gelitine free sweets) these are cals only no protien no fat, fat free yog so virtually no cal and no fat but protien and chocolate virtually just fat, I track for my two meals and have a third snack if i need to made up of whatever i've not made target on.

i find this is the easiest way to ensure i'm getting everything i need for some reason some days i just havn't eaten enough of something!

I wish I could eat more without adding too many calories. I am still struggeling to get enough Protein or mainly Fat in my diet. Since I am not very active all the calculators on the internet tell me my limit is 1050 kcal... well this is very hard to do and get enough fat. I can only get 15 g on fat which gives me terrible constipation. But if I eat more fat I go higher in kcal.
All the fat has so many calories and I will go much higher. I am already down to 100, but I think this must be only water because my arms look still fat and I see my muscles. Gotta carry the boys daily same as grocery buys so what can I do.
