I know (rather I suspected).....but I was trying not to let on, and you had to go and ruin it. So much for a subtle compliment =P

Ok, so I'm a little slow on the uptake. LOL
Well, I think I did pretty well today. I rounded out the day with a granola bar worth 180 cals.
I ended up eating 1302 cals today, with percentages as follows:
Fat: 37%
Carb: 40%
Protein: 23%
*sigh* still not there....

And I'll third it. And since it's me, stingo and she, that's all that matters.
I feel your pain though, it's almost murder trying to get a full 180g a day of protein in my belly.

Thanks, guys. I think I've finally found what I need to start really doing this. I have so much support here and I thank you all. I just hope the scales relflect my hard work. And I have been working hard this week. I'm really trying!!! I just caved and had a slice of bread (wheat - 70 cals) bc I was hungry and I am going to be doing weights in a few. Other than that, woohoo!!! LOL

I thought it was 1g per pound of body weight if you're exercising seriously and trying to build muscle mass. I could be wrong, but that's the number that keeps coming up around the boards here. Here's a single example.....
