yes but MFP counts the tiny amounts of protein and fat in fruits and veg which we don't count, and for us, low carb veg (such as eggplant) are free and unlimited - count nothing in them, have as much as you like.

Sodium does not matter at all. Virtually everyone gave it up and our results have only gone up since we did. I got my daughter eating tons of sodium after getting my 4th boy while limiting it.

Turkey and chicken within limits is fine. Some people choose to give it up but it's not mandatory. Just don't count on it to keep you ovulating!

We have not found the supplements for swaying are doing a whole lot. We do folic since that's been proven to help prevent birth defects, and some do fiber (but you shouldn't because it will make you lose weigh tand can stop ovulation) But I woulnd't have you or hubby take anything else. Some have their husbands take OLE and soy milk - although I can't give a blanket recommndation for that without knowing more about his health and any medication he's on.

Exercise is a gray area because while it can cause weight to come off, it DOES work really well so it may be worth the gamble. Up to you to decide - jusst be aware you'll have to eat a lot of calories more than you are, to ensure you keep ovulating while exercising.

Thanks!!! I'm going to always add in that 3rd meal or snack. Would you suggest that and staying within limits to up my weight without swaying blue?
I find it hard to count exact calories and all when I take a little of this and a little of that...but if I'm maintaining weight and slowly upping my bmi, hopefully that's ok? I'm on day 13 now so I'll know soon if I ovulated. And then the plan is next cycle for first attempt. I feel like I've been on this site a lot but want to make sure I cover all bases and give it 💯...hoping to learn a few more last minute pointers. Thanks again!

The reason I have people track is so they don't cut back too far - people, over time, often start eating less and less without even realizing they're doing it. So if you're taking care to eat more, keeping an eye on the weight to see that it's holding steady or even a little weight coming back on if u've lost too much that is all good.

Good luck and let me know if you need anything.
