Well, when i fall off track, which in this world is so easy to do, i get back on by writing down what i eat, it holds me accountable for what i am putting in my mouth and my list shows the name of the food, the calories, the fats and the protiens-as a quick rule-i keep the fats below 50 grams and the protiens above 50 grams (per day) the calories seem to stay within limits. in a day at work i may start off with a cup of coffee, 50, 0,0...then have some cottage cheese and peaches, 180, 4.5, 13...for lunch maybe some chicken salad with a wasa cracker, 155, 5, 16...afternoon a protien shake 160, 3, 30...and maybe yogurt 100, 0, 5..and that is 645 calories, 12.5 fats and 64 protiens at work....and in the evening-maybe meatloaf and broc. and carrots, maybe some lauging cow cheese and pretzil chips for a bedtime snack....stayed well with in my limits. i get a lot of my recipies off this site, also from atkins and diabeties websites...helps stay high protien low fat, hope that helps a little
