Thanks guys! I gotta try that anytime soup. I remember seeing the recipe, but didn't look that closely at it. I love veggie soup, so that should be fine. Glad to hear this is a "phenomenon" and not just me . I have had no problem getting food down LOL. I eat like a horse. My family can't believe how much I eat now. And I eat passionately . Shoveling it in. (All in proportion I think, and no greater than 30carbs). I think my calorie intake is fine. Meals I get 2-4oz protein, ~30carbs, a non-starchy (although this one doesn't always make it in), and guesstimate 20-30g fat. I don't get many saturated though. I just don't like red meat much. Where else will I get sat fats? I may try adding a third snack too. I should be fine as long as keep the carbs in proportion, right? It's not so much how much I get all day, but that I don't spike my insulin levels too quickly, right?

I need to start adding my food to my journal so you guys can critique me .
