Regarding veggie protein, well I got the impression from the interviews that people were eating almond bread. I wonder if they count the protein in the almonds, as it is quite a lot.

I think I have the opposite fear you do, I've been eating much less calories for years! (On Atkins). I wasn't trying to restrict calories, just by end of day my Fitday was usually in the 1200-1300 range. I'm worried eating 1800+ calories on this will make me gain weight lol.
As for your almond question... I love almonds and eat them almost every day. I personally count the protein in them towards my protein totals.
