I'm in CA, too! Nor Cal, though.
I'm staying on the low end of the LE for calories, just because I'm short and have some weight I can easily lose. I have no prob going vegetarian (I was actually a vegetarian for 20 years, though not lately) so protein isn't too hard for me to avoid, but I do find I almost always go on the high side for fat. :(
I am Northern California as well! I'm not really watching limits, just eating vegetarian and staying under on calories, making sure over 50% of my calories come from carbs.
Took a test this afternoon, also negative. Boo. :-/
Congrats!!Quote:

The way I am doing the LE diet is:
50-60g protein (too hard for me to be under)
30% calories from fat where possible
Maximum calories taking these into account so I am usually 1800-2000
I eat vegetarian Monday to Thursday. Friday to Sunday I will relax and usually go over the limits above but I do my best. This is still less than before and I have been doing this for 3 months now. My diet is very healthy, I eat massive portions of salads, veggies etc. The hardest thing is not snacking and holding off as long as possible before eating breakfast.
Beth - atomic wrote a more relaxed version of the diet which might be helpful to you, it included 4 eggs a week and 2 servings of salmon a week. It might help you although I'm not sure where it is posted I'll have a look later for you.

I'm not doing this yet as atomic days what I am doing already is fine but hopefully this will help
Just realised I've actually been doing this for 4 months no wonder I'm skinny lol!
Hey ladies, good luck with the testing i wanna hear more bfps! kinda sucks being so out of zone with you girls....you all in 2ww me gearing up for 2nd attempt... my ovulation was day 20 last month and the month before day 14 (no le diet) it has not been so late since I conceived DS1 and DS2 (when sometimes i did not ovulate till day 36) painful!! so i feel your pain bethwade
I just got my sway plan so excited!! I read the diet info in there and immediately messaged atomic cause I feel I am eating way more than
'recommended'...!!
I am doing about 1400-1,500 calories, 40-50g protein and 40g fat eating two pretty solid meals a day just no snacking and skipping breakfast which are massive changes for me I hope its enough! XXX
p.s I all they way in little old New Zealand!
10dpo bfn. Don't know why I tested. I don't get a bfp until 14dpo with my son. Was gutted all the same x
Kitkat - it doesn't sound like you are eating too much at all to me. If anything you could afford to eat a bit more, especially if you are exercising too. I know what you mean though, because we have to pack so much into fewer meals it feels like you are eating loads!
