by the way, i think you're doing great! scales are stubborn.

this IS a great question....so, HOW DO I know that I am getting enough. For example, for Breakfast, I ate 3 eggs + 1white, a drinkable non fat yogurt, 2c greenbeans (raw) and coffee. I was still hungry after this. I didn't bring enough food for a snack, and I ate a good 2-3c serving of homemade lowcarb chili...and I am STILL hungry. Whenever I've entered my calories (on a clean day), into Fitday, I tend to be around the 1200-1300 mark. I guess the old addage is...if you're hungry, then EAT!!! But..a calorie guide would be helpful.
