Very sage advice (filtering). It is fun to try new things, but often one ends up spinning one's wheels.

What I ran through Fitday was the amounts I'd posted: 6 oz red meat, 3 oz white meat, etc. -- and for my weight, which is considerably higher than yours So that may well account for the calorie differences.

I went through exactly the same path, from looking for new and exciting recipes to the comfort of a standard menu -- comfort food, in a way. But if I do that for two weeks, I won't be able to look at a hamburger. I suppose I'll just have to lurch along until I find the proper balance


Doreen, I hope if you try this you'll keep us informed. What I love about this site is that we're all experimenting -- and experiments, in a way -- and we can watch each other's experiments and see what fits.

Glad to meet another Gemini
