Hooeanddream-can you have red raspberry leaf tea? That us supposed to be good for your lining too.

Drama-looks good!

Is it OK with saw palmetto and vitex?

dramabird - if I were you I would zig-zag your calories a bit. Your body gets used to the same amount of calories each day and learns to stabilise your weight at that intake. You might have 4 days of 1500 calories, 2 at 1700 and 1 at 1900 each week so you're still averaging the same calories per week but your body doesn't know what to expect iykwim?

Thank you, zana -- def. worth a try. Today was a bad diet day. I just tallied everything and somehow, by eating about 300 fewer cals than I have been, I went way over on sodium and protein. How did I manage that ...?

I am thinking I will have to make smoothies out of just strawberries and rice milk and drop the kefir ... even without it, I think I can at least hit the min. calcium amounts (usually I am around 1200-1300 ... today was 1700+ ... weird-a** diet day!).

Grump, grump, grump ...

But you gals seem to be doing great on your values, so you will be my role models!

I drink it every day for that reason (when AF has gone, anyway!), although it also does hormone balancing too

Do you think Nutella is ok to eat or no b/c it has chocolate and hazelnut?But don't know if it is too nutritious or junky enough? I need to add a little fat in my diet today, weighed and down to 91.9 this morning.Don't want to add too much fat of course, b/c hopefully o'ing in next week, but don't want to keep dropping!Thanks!

Never mind, I ate a mini cupcake instead! And bread with loads of butter...

[littlemissnaughty7]

thats a good question actually is nuttella alowed lol ?

[rainbowflower]

no, I would say it isn't a good choice. It contains nuts which are good at keeping blood glucose level and slow-release, not what you want for pink!

Also nuts are really good at increasing testosterone...

Think I'll add Nutella to my "Fav foods to eat when I get my BFP" list...

Editing to add, you can eat anything in moderation on the LE diet but Nutella is something you'd want to skip as it would not do a pink swayer any favors. Eating that cupcake was a much better choice Sorry keeping your weight on is such a chore!

[dramabird]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear ... I still had it in my mind from IG that I should be getting a lot of calcium, while not going above any of the LE limits (I was getting it through diets, not any supps). But Atomic says we shouldn't probably exceed 800 calcium in a day. So are you gals drinking milk, eating yogurt, cheese, etc.? Which dairy products are you avoiding? Man, just when I think I have a handle on this ...
