You may be right with that... I should probably hold out the way it is for two more weeks and then cut back a slight little bit. I don't want my body to think it's not getting everything it needs. Never again I want to do that...
BUT all the calculators and even Mark's calculations from his book say that I would need more than 2000 a day to just maintain my weight...

"by the book", and your body, which has a long unhealthy history of being underfed, are two very different animals. you are not working with a "normal" metabolism. your patience, however, will pay off in a big way. let your body heal.

Thanks guys! I will see what happens if I lower intake to about 1700 without depriving me of anything and will cut back on nuts a bit. I'll report back soon!
Btw, otherwise than the little weight gain I feel really great and had my first proper RUN in Vibrams on Sunday... am totally amazed and happy with that, it was unbelievable!!! ;o)
