Got it! Thanks!

sent you a PM --

Those junk carbs are like razor blades to us with fibro.........

Thanks for looking at it.I appreciate it! The protein is right under my carbs figure. 63x1.1=69.3 g protein. I'm sorry, I don't know what LFT is.

sorry Lift Heavy Things. Yes, it was the 1.1 I wondered about, I was thinking it should only by x's 1, so 63 instead of 69.3

Question...
Net carbs or a carb is a carb is a carb?
Which one do I count? TIA!

Here in the UK carbs are shown separate from fibre so are what you would call net carbs. I have always used this as fibre has no effect on insulin as far as I'm aware. But since I follow VLC I guess in my case it doesn't really matter anyway.

Ok...accepted you as my friend.....r u my freind? Can we be like BFF? Welcome to my neighborhood (done in a terrible Mr. Rogers impersonation)

I looked at your diary. I see nothing wrong with the figures for your breakfast, but I do think your overall daily calories is set entirely too low. You can go to "settings", then select "Goals". Once in the goals screen, click on custom to change your goals to be how you want them.

Once on the next screen, input the calorie goal you get using the equations found on the first post. Then adjust to 10% carbs, 70% fat and 20% protein. That is roughly what you want to aim for.

Wait, why did you (I) multiply by 1.1? should have been 1, protein and HSIS number are the same.

So 70 x 4 =280, which changes your total calories to 1680, sorry.

sorry Lift Heavy Things. Yes, it was the 1.1 I wondered about, I was thinking it should only by x's 1, so 63 instead of 69.3

Because in the equation on the first post, it says to add 10% to your weight goal to reach protein goal.

1.1 x weight goal is the same as adding 10%.

net carbs are total carbs - fiber.

Yikes! My breakfast was fat-tastic at a whopping 84% (so good) it should balance out better with dinner...hah

Wow! May I ask what did you have?

Okay - I'm back on track today. The potato bar from super bowl party spilled over into Monday too! but - yum!

Today - 1 whole egg plus 2 yolks in 2 TB butter -- with garam masala and cayenne sprinkled on top! mmmmmmmmmmm!!!

I'm making cream cheese clouds when I get home from work. I'm out of coconut flakes though.

We're leaving on 96 hours for our 5th wheel vacation! wooot wooot!

I'm not sure why you are saying that my calories are set to low? (Just asking)

It's what it figured out for me to lose 2 lbs a week. (their figures)

(why don't my quotes come out like others?)

ok, sorry, I thought that the higher number (HSIS x 1.1 or 10%) was if you were not concerned about losing weight or if you were Lifting Heavy Things.
